Giving Tuesday donations are matched by PayPal and Facebook so your donation can be doubled if you click on our DONATE button on 12/1. 2019 was the most successful year for GivingTuesday - $511 million was given online in the U. S. alone and 2/3 of Giving Tuesday donors only give on GivingTuesday. So, it’s very important to get involved and show you care on Giving Tuesday. Share your support with your family and friends — Ask them to help us raise funds. We appreciate it.

On Giving Tuesday, with matching funding, your dollar stretches and adds to many more who can give us the runway to equip our team with much-needed gear and supplies to search and find lost hikers, bikers, hunters, seniors and children in our many parks and towns. While our team has responded to many more requests this year to find your missing loved ones, we have lost much of our financial support to other Covid-related causes. We applaud the outpouring of our community to those in need due to the pandemic. However, our work continues and the load increases.

We are asking for donations through Facebook and here on our website (PayPal) to help us meet our goal of $30,000. It’s a big goal, representing 60% of our proposed budget. These funds would help us replace our decades-old 4-wheel drive trucks, medical supplies, and purchase critical equipment to enable field communications and searcher tracking. Our training and certifications testing must be paid by our volunteer professionals if we can’t raise the funds for them.
