The process is easy.  However, if you aren’t sure how to go about scheduling your donations we are here to help you.  You can either donate directly on the organizations page on the Day of Giving website or you can donate through personal campaigns on the Day of Giving website, via the search bar. Here’s how to donate:

  • Create an account at www.coastalbenddayofgiving.org
    • If you have given on to the Coastal Bend Day of Giving in the past then your login will still be the same as previous years and there is no need to create another account
  • Use the search bar to find the organization you would like to support (i.e. Youth Odyssey)
  • Click the “Donate Now” button on their profile page and follow the instructions further

IF YOU ARE DONATING THROUGH A PERSONAL CAMPAIGN:

  • You still must create an account on www.coastalbenddayofgiving.org (unless you already have one)
  • Click the “SEARCH FOR YOUR NONPROFIT”  button on the main webpage (next to the search bar)
  • On the right side, mid screen are two buttons “Nonprofits” and “Campaigns,” click campaigns
  • On the “Campaigns” page you can either:
    • scroll to find the campaign you’re looking for OR
    • You can type in the name of the campaign in the search bar
  • Click the campaign you wish to support
  • On that campaigners page click the “Donate” button and follow the instructions the website provides you

DSCF8892It’s just that easy! By scheduling your donations you are allowing yourself the freedom of not having to stress over getting your donation in on the 15th of November. Everyone who schedules a donation from November 6-14 will all have their donations processed on the Nov 15th Day of Giving and that allows your donations to be doubled!

If you aren’t sure how much to donate, the minimum donation is $10 and can go all the way up to thousands. Here is a breakdown of how your donations can help our organization and the at-risk youth in the coastal bend area:

  • $10 = Portable Team Challenges for an entire program session
  • $25 = A Day trip to go kayaking, canoeing or on a ropes course
  • $250 = Sending a kid on a weekend camping trip

Keeping in mind that each donation received during early scheduled donations and on November 15th will be DOUBLED so that means your donations will have twice the impact!

Spread the word, log on to www.coastalbenddayofgiving.org, and donate to Youth Odyssey today!! Help us continue to change the lives of the youth in the coastal bend area! Thank You!
