Giving Tuesday is a global movement that encourages changing the world through charity and generosity. It’s a day when you’re encouraged to donate to worthy causes, whether locally or globally. However, giving doesn’t have to be just one day of the year.
This holiday season, consider spreading some holiday cheer by donating to the Greater Merrimack Valley’s various nonprofit organizations. You’d be providing a great service to local tourism and helping to ensure you’ll always have a great place to visit year-round.
Mill City Events Fund
If you want to make a big difference in the City of Lowell, donate to the Mill City Events Fund. The Fund provides an annual sponsorship that supports the many events Lowell puts on throughout the year. This includes Winterfest, the Fourth of July, City of Lights and Kerouac Park Summer Programming, among others.
These cornerstone events are vital for bringing tourism to the Merrimack Valley. They bring thousands of people to the city, and even to the Merrimack Valley as a whole as people decide to make an entire weekend out of their visit and take the opportunity to explore. When you donate to Mill City Events Fund, you’re helping to improve the local economy and give local entertainers, businesses, and culture the spotlight. You make Lowell more vibrant as the city gets the funds to create city-wide events that bring tourists and locals together to celebrate something fun and exciting.
Lowell Festival Foundation
Another Lowell-centric Lowell event you can help support is the Lowell Folk Festival. This incredible event is one of the largest free folk festivals in the country. Generous donors, both big and small, ensure this event remains free every year.. By donating today, you’re helping thousands of people enjoy the festival for free in July.
You too can make a tax-deductible donation to the Lowell Festival Foundation to keep the Lowell Folk Festival flourishing and free. In fact, you could donate and be put into a raffle for a gift certificate to a local business! The Strumming for Support fundraiser holds multiple raffles, and when a raffle hits 100 entries, a winner is drawn and the raffle begins anew. There are up to 16 prizes, so each donation gives you an opportunity to win, all while supporting a great cultural event that helps both the local community and the economy.
This holiday season, don’t limit yourself to donating to a cause on a single day of the year. Help make a big difference in the Greater Merrimack Valley community with a small donation to a local charity any day of the year.
