Brandi, Emily, and Gary on the Giving Season

Indy publisher Brandi Rivera and marketing manager Emily Cosentino joined Gary Clark of the Fund for Santa Barbara to tell us a little bit about the SB Gives! campaign in this week's paper.

You must be so proud to launch year three of this nonprofit booster! Yes, we are! With the Fund for Santa Barbara, the Independent is supporting 53 nonprofits this year through S.B. Gives!

What’s new this year? We are focusing on cultivating new and young (ages 18 to 35) donors. And the Independent is sponsoring a $1,000 grant to the participating nonprofit who garners the most young donors during the campaign.
