We need your input to help us award $50,000 in donations in celebration of Giving Tuesday on Dec. 2!
Nominate your favorite nonprofit now through Nov. 9 for a chance to be one of five recipient organizations. On Nov. 10, We'll draw at random from those nominated to award $10,000 to one eligible nonprofit organization in each of our five market areas, including the Waterloo/Cedar Falls area, Cedar Rapids/Iowa City area, Des Moines area, Omaha/Council Bluffs area and the Twin Cities area. Recipients will be announced on Dec. 2 in celebration of Giving Tuesday.
“Veridian was founded on the need to support our communities and the people in them,” said Veridian President and CEO Renee Christoffer. “We celebrate Giving Tuesday because it’s an opportunity for us to encourage and inspire each other to strengthen the communities we share.”
To be eligible, organizations must work to address one of Veridian’s five funding priorities, including (1) affordable housing, (2) basic human needs, (3) inclusion, (4) employment readiness and (5) financial literacy. To help ensure equal opportunity between large and small nonprofit organizations, each nominated organization will receive one entry for the drawing regardless of the number of times it was nominated.
