Midlands Gives 2023

Donate Now

Virtual Fundraiser : 1601 Richland Street, Columbia, SC 29201

 

We are excited to participate in Midlands Gives again this year on Tuesday, May 2, 2023, for an online giving campaign. Last year, as a part of Midland Gives, we raised nearly $60,000 with 406 donations. This is a great community-wide day of giving, and it’s a fun way to raise money and awareness of Historic Columbia! 

Each year, Historic Columbia has won the Early Riser Power Hour for a bonus cash prize. We're aiming for 300+ donations between 7:00-7:59 a.m. to give HC a chance of winning this $2,000 bonus!  Please note, scheduled donations will NOT count towards the power hour competition! Please make all donations on Tuesday, May 2, ideally during the 7-7:59 a.m. power hour. 

We hope we can count on you again this year to support our mission of preserving and promoting Columbia and Richland County’s history.
 
Thank you in advance for supporting Historic Columbia and Midlands Gives!

  • Donate

    Visit Midlands Gives and make an online donation to Historic Columbia ideally during Power Hour between 7:00 – 7:59 a.m. The non-profit with the most donations during this hour will receive an extra $2,000. You can make more than one gift per family and encourage your friends and colleagues to donate at this same time, too. Please note: donations are only accepted online AND you will need to know your Midlands Gives log-in and password from last year to make a donation.
