The Northwest Montana United Way is hosting a new community connect event called:

Cold Weather and Warm Hearts

This event includes a Non-Profit Expo from noon to 6 pm, on Tuesday, December 3, 2024. This is the National Day of Giving and we want to highlight all of you and the amazing services provided within our service area.

All federally recognized, non-profit organizations within Flathead, Glacier, Lake, Lincoln and Sanders counties are welcome and encouraged to host an informational booth. The participation fee is $10/agency and will include a table and 2 chairs. All agencies will be listed by name and one line description in the event program. We encourage you to decorate your space, preferably utilizing the event theme, provide literature regarding your services and have a hand-out, such as logoed products or candy, to encourage individuals to stop at your booth and learn more about the services you offer. (Registration deadline for inclusion in program is Nov 20th)

The following optional, additional services will be provided, as requested:

$15 Speaker/Presenter Package:

Your agency will be provided with 10-15 minutes of podium time to present your services and make a pitch for donations and volunteers. The time slots will be assigned based on hourly themes and are limited. Sessions will be assigned as applications are received. The United Way’s social media and the attendee program will include a schedule of speakers.

$15 Social Media Advertising Package:

Inclusion of your agency in the social media promotion of the event and will include links to your own website or social media site.

$20 Day of Giving Contribution Campaign:

Inclusion of your agency in a one-payment option to multiple agencies. The brochure will list all agencies, alphabetically within our main areas of giving, with a one-line description of your services provided. Donors will be able to make one combined payment and allocate to multiple agencies of their choice. The United Way will be the recipient and will pass-through all combined donations. The United Way will deduct any relative credit card processing fees and a 3% administration fee and pay out a net amount to your agency, with donor information included. Checks written directly to your agency will be forwarded without an admin fee.

We hope that this National Day of Giving non-profit expo will provide significant exposure to all of the incredible non-profit agencies that provide services within Northwest Montana.

We are also looking for Event Sponsors. Please ask Jodie Cross or Destiny Russell for corporate sponsorship opportunities.

Please share the event and encourage your clients, donors and supporters to attend.
