About Give Big Pittsburgh

Give Big Pittsburgh will raise money for local nonprofits through a single online donation platform, providing a simple way to connect donors to the charitable causes they care about most and encourage them to take action. This 24-hour online fundraising effort hosted by the Pittsburgh Magazine in conjunction with the Pittsburgh Foundation and local sponsors, will offer our area of nonprofits the chance to raise funds to support their critical missions. For nearly 50 years, Pittsburgh Magazine has been delighting its readers with tales of the most fascinating people and places and encouraging them to explore a region that is incredibly diverse and filled with surprises. Along the way, Pittsburgh Magazine has built a market reach of more than 700,000 a year through its digital, print and event footprint. As Pittsburgh Magazine has grown, it has invested in its community by promoting worthy causes, making donations and contributing staff volunteer hours. In turn, nonprofits have increasingly sought out the Pittsburgh Magazine audience of engaged citizens and opinion leaders to engage and educate potential donors and supporters through paid advertising and branded content. These combined factors led Pittsburgh Magazine to publish its first Give Pittsburgh magazine in October 2016. This fall, Pittsburgh Magazine plans to publish its second-annual Give Pittsburgh and wishes to enhance its philanthropy-based services with the launch of its first “Day of Giving”- style fundraising campaign. The campaign will be designed to generate enhanced giving to local charities while creating a vehicle for them to tell their stories and build their brands through Pittsburgh Magazine channels.
