HELP CMC GET SOME FUNDING

THIS THURSDAY, MARCH 6, ONLY

The Columbus Foundation will distribute $175,000 to nonprofits in central Ohio. For every gift up to $1,000 made on line using a credit card, the Columbus Foundation will match it 50%.

Please make sure the CMC gets some of this money.

It’s really easy, but you have to follow the steps.
Here’s what you need to do.

2. On the top of the home page click on Power Philanthropy Login
3. Click on Create User Name and Password
4. In Public User click on Sign Up Form
5. In the next window you'll need to fill in your name and email address
6. Click "Submit" and a user name and password will be emailed to you momentarily
7. Once you get your user name and password, please test it and follow the prompts as though you plan to give right now

You may also have to follow the site’s directions to disable popups. You must do this today or well in advance of March 6, because you will not have time to do this on March 6. The matching funds are expected to go in minutes!

Our board, our staff and I are all proud of this growth and would like to thank you in advance for gifts that will help us continue to make CMC the community’s conversation.
