Last year WCCF Gives Day raised over $300 for the Amateur Astronomers Association of Pittsburgh.  

WCCF Gives is a one-day event, in which each donation you make to your favorite Washington County non-profit via www.wccfgives.org or by check will be increased by a percentage of a bonus pool estimated to be at least $100,000.

Donations made to  the Amateur Astronomers Association of Pittsburgh  through the Washington County Community Foundation’s Washington Gives Day on Tuesday, September 13, 2016, online that day or by check anytime before that day will be matched from a 100,000 donor pool. All donations will be used to further enhance our educational programs and outreach.

The Washington County Community Foundation (WCCF) is a tax-exempt, 501(c)(3) not-for-profit corporation. It was initiated by community leaders to encourage charitable giving. Its mission is to improve the quality of life primarily in Washington County by providing a vehicle for philanthropic giving across a broad spectrum of giving levels to support diverse community needs and to provide prudent stewardship of those charitable funds.

Help the Amateur Astronomers Association of Pittsburgh Raise More. All that is required is a minimum donation of $25 (though more is appreciated). Each minimum donation of at least $25, given at this specific time, will receive a match from a bonus pool of funds, thereby expanding upon your generosity.

Please click here to be taken to the donation “button,” which will be “active” on September 13, 2016.

Give Online beginning at 8 a.m. on September 13 to 8 p. m. September 13,

or by Check before September 13.

Give a gift starting at $25.00 that’s worth more by supporting AAAP through WCCF Gives. All WCCF Gives donations made to participating 501(c)(3) charities via www.wccfgives.org or by check will be increased by a percentage of a $100,000 bonus pool!
