give now December 3 | Giving Tuesday
Giving Tuesday, our most significant fundraising day of the year, is right around the corner, and we are excited to raise money for your youth shooting teams and organizations! After an unbelievable Giving Tuesday in 2023, raising over $513,000, we set a goal to do it again in 2024! However, we need your help to raise that kind of money! To reach our goal, we encourage you to ask your community of supporters to donate through our website on December 3. Every dollar will benefit the youth shooting sports program that the donor chooses. MidwayUSA Foundation is proud to ensure that 100% of every donation benefits the endowment of their choice because we keep nothing for operations. Plus, we will match EVERY DONATION! In addition to matching every donation, we’ll also award youth shooting teams that receive the most donation dollars and draw thirty (30) participating teams, at random, to win $1,000 each.
The team incentive will be structured to reward the top 5 teams.
1st Place: $15,000
2nd Place: $12,500
3rd Place: $10,000
4th Place: $7,500
5th Place: $5,000
Throughout Giving Tuesday, we’ll update you on our progress toward our goal on our website and social media. Please follow us on Facebook and Instagram. Share our updates on your social media, too! We also recommend sharing your own stories and team information on your social media with a direct link to your MidwayUSA Foundation endowment page. To assist you in talking with your volunteers, parents, donors, and potential donors, we have created material for you to use in your communications. Visit our Giving Tuesday Toolkit page for logos, email and press release templates, and more tips.
SK GUNS GIVEAWAY
Thanks to SK Guns, we also have an exciting incentive for our donors. This SK Guns Sweepstakes is exclusive to our Giving Tuesday donors! For every $1,000 donation, a donor will receive an entry to win the exclusive SK Guns Gold Series Early Italian Renaissance Collection. Only 25 complete Gold Series sets have been produced, featuring pistols with consecutive serial numbers and matching edition numbers. This remarkable set also includes a limited edition engraved knife, etched in 24k gold and numbered to match the set. The estimated value of this collection is over $15,000! A random winner will be announced by December 13th.
Donating on Giving Tuesday is easy. Head to MidwayUSAFoundation.org/donate and choose if you’d like to contribute to a youth shooting team or organization. From there, you’ll search for the program you’d like to support and make your tax-deductible donation right through our safe and secure website. We will send you a gift receipt, and your dollars will be matched in the coming weeks. Growing an endowment means growing that youth shooting program’s annual cash grant, which provides funds to cover the team’s critical expenses to practice and compete.
