Check (Offline Donation) Policy

Offline Donation Policy for Give Local Piedmont

Offline donations are check donations your organization receives. We are unable to accept cash.

While the purpose of the online giving day is to encourage the use of secure and easy online philanthropy, we understand that some will prefer to donate via check. Checks will be counted towards an organization’s final donation total and the bonus pool funds, however, checks do not count for prizes because of the way the system records unique donations.

Let us say, one more time, without discouraging our organizations or donors, online giving means finding your way to the internet to give. Checks are a complication to that spirit.  

No organization is to record or deposit any check designated for Give Local Piedmont, including matches. All checks must be delivered and in the hands of NPCF staff by 5:00 pm, Monday, May 13, 2024. Checks for matches will not be recorded in the system until NPCF has been notified that the match has been met.

Checks must be dated between April 30 and May 14.

All checks received by an organization must be delivered to Northern Piedmont Community Foundation by mail, preferably, or in person. The deadline for actual checks in hand is Monday, May 13 at 5:00 pm. All checks received are to be recorded and deposited by NPCF staff members only. Any check recorded or deposited into any other bank account except Northern Piedmont Community Foundation will be considered a traditional donation to your organization and not part of the Give Local Piedmont tally.

If a donor is contributing to more than one organization, please ask them to write one check per organization. It would be wonderful to have an email address with checks so that we can confirm the donation with the donor and the nonprofit.

We are unable to accept cash.

Checks must be made out to the Northern Piedmont Community Foundation, with the designated charity written in the memo line. Checks must be received at NPCF no later than May 13, 2024, 5:00 pm. 


The Northern Piedmont Community Foundation mailing address is 

PO BOX 182, WARRENTON, VA 20188

The Northern Piedmont Community Foundation physical address is

And please know that we will also not accept the notion of "checks lost in the mail." If your organization will be passing along checks, then it is up to your organization to track the check progress from your hands to NPCF by Monday, May 13, 2024 5:00 pm.
