Nominate a Florida nonprofit: #FloridaGives campaign to award five entrants $10,000 donation

FLORIDA — The #FloridaGives social media campaign will award five entrants a $10,000 donation to the Florida charity of their choice from the Florida Blue Foundation, while bringing needed awareness to many of Florida's charities.

Anybody can nominate a Florida 501 (c)(3) nonprofit now until midnight Friday on the campaign website. The #FloridaGives campaign joins the Giving Tuesday movement that kicks off the giving season.

Five charities will be randomly selected from the entries to win $10,000 from the Florida Blue Foundation. Winners will be announced on Dec. 10, 2019.

HOW TO ENTER:

  1. Log on to spr.ly/FloridaGives
  2. Enter the name of a Florida 501 (c)(3) nonprofit and tell us why you give.
  3. Enter up to 25 times per day. Each submission counts as an entry, increasing the charity's chance of winning the $10,000 donation.

Entrants are encouraged, but not required, to print out the #FloridaGives sign, write in their favorite charity, take a selfie while holding the sign and upload it to the site. Entrants can also share their entry on social media using #FloridaGives.
