BCF Accepting Flash Philanthropy Pledges

The Bartlesville Community Foundation is currently accepting pledges for those donors aged 21-40 that would like to participate in the Flash Philanthropy program.

The Foundation asks for a total pledge of $500 to participate. This can be accomplished by an individual or a group joining together. Donors can also use their employer’s matching funds to reach the $500. Donors have until September 30 to make their pledge.

Flash Philanthropy donors will join together to find a project to grant the money they pledge. The Bartlesville Community Foundation will solicit and gather the grant applications and then allow those in Flash Philanthropy to choose their three favorite proposals. The three finalists will make a presentation to the entire group and then donors will decide which grant to fund. It’s a great way to become involved in a charity in a very personal way.

And it couldn’t be easier: make a pledge, learn how to evaluate the grant proposals, and then choose the project to support. You can help make Bartlesville a better place in a flash.

To make a pledge, you can print the pledge card here. You can also make your pledge online. You can also receive more information about Flash Philanthropy from Shawn Crawford at (918) 337-2287 or contact us.
