The Lancaster County Community Foundation is gearing up for its fifth annual Extraordinary Give — a 24-hour online fundraising event for nonprofits in Lancaster County.

There are 427 nonprofits included in the fundraiser this year — 60 more than 2015.

“Because we've come through a season that's felt somewhat divided … we're looking forward to a positive, unifying day of supporting our community of Lancaster County together,” said Tracy Cutler, foundation spokeswoman.

How much money does the Extraordinary Give raise?

In 2015, the event raised $6.1 million from 20,276 donors.

Comparatively, $1.7 million was raised in 2012, the first year of the event.

Stats from the previous three years show that 30 percent of donors have donated to an organization for the first time through the Extraordinary Give, Cutler said.

You can choose from the participating organizations that serve residents of Lancaster County. All are registered as 510(c)(3) with the Bureau of Charitable Organizations and have a current audit or independent financial review. A list and descriptions of each one can be found at the Extraordinary Give leaderboard.

How does the Extraordinary Give work?

Anyone can donate to any of the nonprofits online with a credit card at the event's website from midnight to 11:59 p.m. Nov. 18.

There are also events during the day.

The “Give Mobile” — a box truck that's been converted into a “mobile giving lounge,” as Cutler calls it — will make five stops throughout the county during the day. See the schedule here.

And the foundation hosts a ExtraGive Fest from 5 p.m. to midnight at the Lancaster Marriot and Lancaster County Convention Center. The event includes live music, activities and giving stations. It's free and open to the public.
