On December 12th, Charlotte Business Journal, in partnership with SHARE Charlotte, hosted their first event dedicated to celebrating local philanthropy, #BizGivesCLT! The event was created to recognize companies that supported local nonprofits in big, bold and creative ways on #GivingTuesdayCLT (Dec. 3, 2019). 

#BizGivesCLT took place at the Wells Fargo Atrium and brought together Charlotte’s for-profit and nonprofit business communities alike to award this year's winners. Check out who took home the award in each of the five categories below! 

We are so excited to have our friends from AvidXchange on board as an Official Partner of this year's #GivingTuesdayCLT! Learn more about the ways that AvidXchange does GOOD for CLT year round through their foundation and how they support the lives of youth in CLT in this quick Q&A with Michael Praeger, CEO and Co-founder of AvidXchange:

Why did AvidXchange decide to sponsor #GivingTuesdayCLT this year? 
Sponsoring #GivingTuesdayCLT and working with SHARE Charlotte is a great way support all the nonprofits in our community. What’s more is that GivingTuesday is a global movement so all of our locations can participate as a company-wide initiative. 

We are so grateful to have Spiracle Media on board as an Official Partner of #GivingTuesdayCLT for a second year in a row! This video content agency was built in 2011 with one purpsoe: to tell stories. And through their artful storytelling, they have been given back greatly to Charlotte's nonprofit community by giving a voice to many causes and organizations for the past eight years. Read more about Spiracle Media and how they use their craft for GOOD in this quick Q & A with Co-Founder and CEO, Tim Baier. 

1. Why did Spiracle decide to sponsor #GivingTuesdayCLT again this year? 

The main motivation for starting Spiracle Media was because we didn’t want to leave Charlotte and now that we are in the position to make an impact we want to partner with organizations making meaningful change. Where else could you connect in to help 400+ organizations in our community? 

Our friends at Wells Fargo have been the presenting partner of #GivingTuesdayCLT for the past three years, and as we come up on year fourth on December 3rd, we are so excited to SHARE with CLT all of the other ways that Wells Fargo does GOOD for the local nonprofit community.
