Give!Guide 2025
Win Prizes by Supporting CSWC!
What is Give!Guide?
Give!Guide is Oregon’s easiest path to year-end giving. It’s Willamette Week’s annual effort to raise funds for — and draw attention to — the good works of local nonprofits. This end-of-year campaign offers opportunities to win incentives when you donate to participating nonprofits.
When does it start? How do I give?
Every year like clockwork, Give!Guide opens at 12:01am on November 1 and closes donations through midnight, December 31. A link in our November newsletter will lead you directly to our G!G giving page!
What is an incentive?
Depending on your donation level to CSWC, you can earn incentive gifts or be entered into raffles to win cool stuff from a local retailer. This year CSWC has partnered with Cafe Eleven, Wonder Ballroom, Level Beer, Wyld CBD, Garnish, SymbiOp, Stoller Wine Group, Portland Cider Company, Voicebox Karaoke, Sparrowhawk Native Plants, Ash Creek Forest Management, Milagro Theater, Nancy Henry & Bruce Campbell (Authors of This Rough Magic), and Patagonia Portland to give our donors access to some great incentives.
What is a Big Give Day (BGD)?
Big Give Days happen weekly during the G!G campaign and benefit all the nonprofits who are a part of Give!Guide! When you donate to CSWC through Give!Guide on a BGD, you are automatically entered to win an exciting prize from Willamette Week’s business partners, like an e-bike, a Powell’s shopping spree, concert tickets, or a getaway trip to Bend! In addition to these prizes, CSWC has gathered incentives that will be raffled off on BGDs to our donors.
What is CSWC's goal?
CSWC’s goal is to raise $20,000 through Give!Guide - a big goal - but one, with your help, we can easily reach!
