2017 Big Give

The Big Give is a semi-annual campaign by the Columbus Foundation to raise funds for central Ohio nonprofits. Donations during the two day giving window in early October produced a record number of donors and financial support for the Park of Roses Foundation. Twenty nine donors contributed over $4,700, which includes prorated funds from a bonus pool of corporate and community partners. The Big Give raised over $18 million this year, and donors from 7 countries, 49 states  and 1,017 cities contributed to 906 nonprofits in central Ohio.

History

The last Big Give was held in 2015. That year, nine donors contributed $500 to the Park of Roses Foundation. The Foundation and the volunteers are deeply grateful to all the people whose contributions continue to make Columbus Park of Roses a well loved public garden.

Final processing of donations continues at the Columbus Foundation, and the funds will be distributed by November 30. Their staff has already acknowledged donors. The Park of Roses Foundation will also acknowledge the donors when their names become available to us later this month. Thanks again for your generosity!
