Dear Nonprofit Partners,

​

For the past 10 years, the Shore Gives More campaign has been a powerful force for local philanthropy, providing critical support for nonprofits across our region. We are incredibly proud of the impact we've made together.

​

We are thrilled to share the Shore Gives More campaign is expanding to become Shore Gives 365 – a year-round giving platform and visibility hub for area nonprofits designed to meet the evolving needs of our community.

​

We’ve heard from many of you that your needs don’t always align with a single day of giving, and that greater flexibility and visibility can open new doors for support. The reimagined platform will empower you to:

​

• Fundraise year-round for the projects and initiatives that matter most, whenever they arise.

• Create customizable campaigns for match challenges, time-limited opportunities, or emerging needs.

• Receive donations directly to you, without waiting for CFES to process payments.

• Gain year-round visibility as donors search for causes to support beyond the crowded end-of-year giving season.

 

Shore Gives 365 is designed to help you deepen connections with donors and strengthen long-term fundraising capacity — not just during Giving Tuesday, but 365 days a year.

 

What to Expect:

​

• Registration for the new platform will open this September.

• CFES will continue to support and actively promote the platform to help connect donors with local impact opportunities throughout the year. Shore Gives 365 will also serve as a place our donor advisors can visit to discover local needs they wish to support.

• Organizations without online donation capability are still welcome to use their Shore Gives 365 profile to promote their own Giving Tuesday efforts.

 

Shore Gives 365 is more than a campaign. It’s a comprehensive shift to help local nonprofits thrive with greater flexibility, visibility, and donor engagement.

​

We’re excited to continue to support your success, and we will be sharing more information and tools to help you make the most of the platform in the coming months.

​

With gratitude for your partnership,

Community Foundation of the Eastern Shore
