Furthermore, if you donate at least $50 through the Give! Guide, Willamette Week will give you an array of items!

If you give $50 – $99.99 to any of the nonprofits included in the Give!Guide, you’ll get a postcard containing a batch of coupons.

Gifts of $100 – $499 result in a separate postcard with better goodies.

Next, if you’re 35 or under and give the $10 minimum, you’re automatically entered in a drawing for all manner of goodies including a check from Willamette Week for $500.

At $500, there’s home delivery of a nice, recyclable New Seasons grocery bag containing a bottle of A to Z Wineworks finest, a 12-ounce bag of freshly roasted Stumptown coffee beans, tea from Smith Tea, and a 22-ounce Widmer beer. A $1,000 donation ups the wine component — to Rex Hill Reserve Pinot Noir and adds some fancy Moonstruck chocolate. At $2,500 or more the wine and chocolate get better, and you get one of Willamette Week‘s owners — Publisher Richard Meeker or Editor Mark Zusman — at your door with a further enhanced shopping bag.

Finally, there are incentives for the nonprofits, too. Whichever one attracts the greatest number of contributions from donors under the age of 36 will get a $1,000 check from Willamette Week. The same holds for the nonprofit that raises the most money through this years Give!Guide. (Only one prize per nonprofit.)
