Alabama Gives Day (AGD) has proven to be a success, as the more than 900 nonprofit organizations helped raise $743,985 in one day.

The Alabama Association of Nonprofits, in partnership with the Alabama Broadcasters Association and the Razoo Foundation presented AGD to:

• Increase public awareness of Alabama’s amazing nonprofit sector
• Promote the ease and safety of online giving
• Connect new individual donors to participating nonprofits, giving current donors an opportunity to give again
• Provide nonprofits with a complimentary online giving platform they can use year-round outside of Gives Day
• Raise as much money as possible in 24 hours from individuals
• Fulfills the mission of the Alabama Association of Nonprofits to support and strengthen Alabama’s nonprofit sector.

Among the more than 900 participating organizations, there were 8,484 unique donors.

Legacy Credit Union's Legacy For Good Foundation further extended the credit union mission of serving its community by adding its participation to AGD.

“Alabama Gives Day provided a wonderful way for the Legacy for Good Foundation and other Alabama nonprofits to bring awareness to their individual missions," says Legacy For Good Foundation Chairman Gina Cannady. "Legacy Credit Union and the Legacy for Good Foundation working together, along with Alabama media and the Nonprofit sector, epitomized the credit union philosophy of people helping people."
