Give Local Bonus Fund

Add to the Give Local Bonus Fund

Can't decide which local cause to support? Give to them all!

A gift to the Give Local Bonus Fund boosts every donation made during Give Local—helping all participating nonprofits grow their impact across Lewis, Mason, and Thurston counties.

Your gift doesn't just add to the total—it multiplies it. The Bonus Fund amplifies every dollar given through Give Local, ensuring that every participating nonprofit benefits, no matter its size or reach. It’s one of the most powerful ways to support a network of more than 150 local organizations that keep our communities strong.

Thanks to generous community support—including a lead gift from The Dawkins Charitable Fund—this year's Bonus Fund is off to a strong start! In past years, nonprofits have shared that the Bonus Fund makes a real difference, helping them raise more, reach new donors, and expand their impact.

How it works

The Bonus Fund proportionally increases the value of every dollar donated during Give Local.

• For example, if a nonprofit receives 5% of all funds raised during Give Local, they'll receive 5% of the Bonus Fund.

• No single organization will receive more than $7,500—ensuring that all participants benefit.

Your contribution helps make that possible. Add to the Bonus Fund today and help lift up every participating local cause—because when our nonprofits thrive, our whole community thrives.
