Developed by the Arts & Science Council of Charlotte-Mecklenberg, power2give.org is an online cultural marketplace designed to connect donors with projects they are passionate about. Specifically, the site allows cultural organizations to post and promote projects in need of funding and invites donors to contribute directly to the projects that are most intriguing to them. By developing a giving platform specifically devoted to supporting arts, science, and history initiatives, cultural consumers can become donors and help the organizations they love turn their needs into a reality. With tools and resources for both donors and cultural organizations, power2give.org makes posting, donating, and promoting projects convenient and engaging. The Council is interested in possibly hosting the system for its members and we’ll want your feedback after you see the presentation.
The presentation will be given by Scott Provancher, President of Arts & Science Council.
