For 24 hours, on
May 5, 2015 only, people can make gifts of $10 or more to participating
nonprofit organizations that are located in or provide services to Culpeper,
Fauquier, Madison, and Rappahannock Counties in Virginia.
Donations must be made through Give Local Piedmont (GLP) in order for the nonprofits to be
eligible for matching funds and grant prizes to support their operations.
GLP is sponsored by the Northern Piedmont Community Foundation (NPCF) as part of the nationwide
Give Local America.
Among the nonprofits participating in GLP this year
is The Cold War Museum, which is located at Vint Hill Farm, Warrenton,
Virginia, the former site of the Army Security Agency monitoring station that
was in operation from 1942 until the end of the Cold War. The Cold War Museum
is dedicated to educating Americans about this critical period in American and
world history.
How
do you make a donation?
On Tuesday, May 5, 2015, go to www.givelocalpiedmont.org and type
in the name of the nonprofit(s) to which you wish to give. If you are looking
for a charity or organization to support (and I’m really pushing the Cold War
Museum here), you can search by category. Your chosen nonprofit will have a
donation page on www.givelocalpiedmont.org
where you can choose the amount you want to donate from $10 up.
