Holiday Catalog
OICF partners with Island organizations to raise awareness and funding for programs working to make Orcas stronger. Through the GiveOrcas Holiday Catalog last year we raised $80,400 for 20 Orcas programs over the three-week campaign. There were 513 donors who made 839 donations. The call for proposals for the 2020 GiveOrcas Holiday Catalog is below. Contact us if you have any questions. And, yes, there will be a new Flat Person!
**Remember to complete the online portion and the application portion. Click here to begin your application. The deadline is 5 PM November 6th.**
If you are considering an entry into the 2020 Holiday Catalog:
- Applicants should request a specific amount when applying for the GiveOrcas Catalog.
- Successful applicants will appear in the GiveOrcas Catalog under one of two categories: “Season of Joy” or “Essential Services.” All applications will be reviewed by the OICF Grants Committee; a member of this group will contact you by phone/zoom shortly after November 6th.
- OICF will have a “Flat Person” and distribute Game prizes (more on Games to come), however, we expect that you and your organization will actively encourage donors to visit the site and give to your organization. Our hope is that by working together we will get everyone over the finish line.
- Request limit: $10,000.
- If your organization requested funds in the last 3-5 catalogs? If so, consider taking a break and allow other organizations to participate.
- Is your request appealing to your donor base? OICF provides the platform but no additional funding. Success is based on you and your organization/team to fundraise for these efforts.
- Please do not request additional funding for a project that has been partially funded in a previous Catalog. Repeated requests tend not to attract new donors in this process.
Please get in touch if you have questions or need more information.
