North Texas Gears Up For Annual Giving Day

With this year’s North Texas Giving Day set for September 20th, NTX area nonprofits are already gearing up for another exhilarating day of giving. The event helps build awareness and support for nonprofits like nothing else. In 2017, $39 million was raised through more than 137,000 gifts benefiting 2,723 local nonprofit, bringing the nine year total to $195 million for our community. North Texas Giving Day is the largest community-wide giving event in the nation.

North Texas Giving Day is an 18-hour online giving event designed to empower every person to give back to their community by supporting local nonprofits and causes they care about in one easy-to-use platform.

Let the Kids inspire you to give again this year to Kids Matter because today’s kids are tomorrow’s future.

On September 20, donations can be made from 6 AM to MIDNIGHT by searching Kids Matter International and more than 1,500 certified nonprofits listed on NorthTexasGivingDay.org. Donations $25 and above will be amplified by $2 million in general bonus funds and prizes.

“North Texas Giving Day is a rallying cry for our entire community to support the organizations that tirelessly protect and provide for our area’s greatest resources, from animals and the environment to women and children,” says Brent Christopher, president and CEO of Communities Foundation of Texas, which founded and presents North Texas Giving Day. “The generosity that all of us experience on Giving Day not only fuels our local nonprofits financially, but energizes them to continue to do their great work.”
