Last call for Giving Guide participation

The absolute deadline to participate in the 2012 edition of the BizTimes Giving Guide, Regional Philanthropic Opportunities, is Monday, Oct. 17.
The Giving Guide is a print and digital publication that showcases nonprofit organizations seeking support from the business community. The Giving Guide will be released at the Association of Fundraising Professional’s National Philanthropy Luncheon in November.
In addition to featuring sponsored content from nonprofit organizations throughout southeastern Wisconsin, the Giving Guide will also feature a condensed version of the online BizTimes Nonprofit Directory and will highlight individuals and corporations that donate their time, talent or treasure to the nonprofit community in southeastern Wisconsin.
BizTimes is asking local nonprofit organizations to nominate people who have given back to the community with their time, talent or treasure. Those people will be featured in the Giving Guide. Please send those nominations, along with a note about how they contribute, to Alysha.Schertz@biztimes.com.
The Giving Guide, Regional Philanthropic Opportunities is a glossy four-color magazine that highlights nonprofit organizations that have a presence in southeastern Wisconsin. It will be published and distributed along with an issue of BizTimes Milwaukee this fall and will also be available online in a digital page turn format. It will include information on nonprofit organizations involved with the arts and humanities, health and human services, foundations and fundraising.
“The BizTimes Giving Guide provides opportunity for nonprofit organizations throughout southeastern Wisconsin to connect with the businesses and the key business executives of the region,” said Dan Meyer, publisher of BizTimes Milwaukee. “The nonprofit industry is an important sector of our local economy. The guide is a great resource for the nonprofits, as well as business people who are looking for ways to serve.”
Nonprofit organizations interested in being included in the Giving Guide can call Tom Gaertner at (414) 336-7112. To see the 2011 edition of the BizTimes Giving Guide in digital page-turn format, visit www.biztimes.com/giving.
