“Erie Gives was more than a home run, it was a grand slam that surpassed all internal projections. The citizens of our county once again demonstrated that they are generous, that they care about each other and that they care about our vibrant and important nonprofit sector. The outpouring of support was broad, diverse and inspiring. We had nearly 3,000 donors who made over 5,000 different gifts. There were 213 different nonprofits receiving support and 110 that received over $1,000. I am extremely grateful to the many nonprofits who helped promote Erie Gives and to many extraordinarily generous donors in our region,” said Mike Batchelor, president of The Erie Community Foundation.
