Holiday Catalog

In 2016 the OICF GiveOrcas Holiday Catalog partnered with Island organizations to raise awareness and funding for programs working to make Orcas stronger. We raised $43,390 for 24 Orcas programs over the three-week campaign. There were 284 donors who made 505 donations. The call for proposals for the 2017 GiveOrcas Holiday Catalog is below. Contact us if you have questions. And, yes, there will be a new Flat Person!

Call for Submissions for 2017 GiveOrcas Holiday Catalog

The Orcas Island Community Foundation (OICF) calls for submissions for our online 2017 GiveOrcas Catalog. Our goal is to partner with organizations to offer donors an opportunity to contribute to Orcas programs. Submit now to be featured in the fifth year of the online GiveOrcas Catalog for 2017.

Again this year there is no requested amount – just a bucket to be filled with donations! OICF will have a “Flat Person” and distribute $3500 in Gamification – we expect that you and your organization will help encourage donors to visit the site and give to your organization. Our hope is that by working together the buckets will be overflowing.
