Go ahead, make your pitch. The Seattle Foundation today is “stretching” donations made through its online giving system up to $500,000 for the 24-hour period:
Credit card donations made during this time period will be counted as GiveBIG donations and used to calculate distribution of the stretch pool. The amount of a nonprofit organization’s share of the stretch pool will be based on the percentage of donations the nonprofit receives of the total online contributions made through www.seattlefoundation.org on May 2. In other words, distribution of the stretch pool will be pro-rated. If X organization receives 1% of the donations through our site on GiveBIG, they will receive 1% of the stretch pool dollars.

Working at Harborview has convinced me of the importance of the DESC shelter (Downtown Emergency Service Center). Without them, some patients might never be discharged (nowhere to go); without them, some patients would end up in the hospital even more often.
