Community Nonprofits Make Their North Texas Giving Day ‘Elevator Pitches’

I am certain that there’s nowhere as generous as North Texas.

Over the past 16 years, your collective gifts to thousands of organizations through Communities Foundation of Texas’ North Texas Giving Day have created more than $635 million of impact.

In 2024, the program connected 3,200 local nonprofits with givers, raising more than $70 million. This local generosity movement has grown to become the largest regional giving event in the nation, and it all centers around giving from the heart.

North Texas Giving Day makes it easy to give.

There are more than 3,500 verified, local nonprofits participating this year — the most in Giving Day’s history — representing more than 25 cause areas.

Communities Foundation of Texas, sponsors, and generous givers cover all transaction and technology fees during North Texas Giving Day, so 100% of donations go directly to nonprofits.

Many of the participating nonprofits have supporters who have stepped up to match donations made, so that the dollars you give can go twice as far.

I take CFT’s charge to grow community giving seriously, and I want to personally ask each of you — our region’s Giving People, to help us do just that — in support of the causes you care about. The need is great, and the time is now.

Browse the NorthTexasGivingDay.org website to learn about the needs and opportunities across our region and to make a gift to a nonprofit or cause area you care about. Not sure where to give? Take our online quiz to be matched with organizations that match your interests and passions.

This year’s North Texas Giving Day culminates on Thursday, Sept. 18. Giving through the website opens on Thursday, Aug. 28. We hope you will join in some of the inspiring events happening all over the region, many of which are highlighted on our website.

I look forward to giving alongside each of you, your families, and businesses through this Texas-sized giving movement.

With gratitude for your generosity,

Wayne White
