Make a world of a difference in our corner of the world through North Texas Giving Day
I am certain that there’s nowhere as generous as North Texas. Over the past 17 years, your collective gifts to thousands of organizations through Communities Foundation of Texas’ North Texas Giving Day have created more than $712 million of impact.
In 2025, more than 100,000 North Texans gave $78 million in support of local nonprofits, representing causes from education, health, and social services, to arts, the environment, and animal welfare. 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.
Great things happen when we do good, and North Texas Giving Day makes it easy to give. This year’s Giving Day season kicks off on Thursday, Aug. 27, and culminates on Thursday, Sept. 17, 2026. There are more than 3,300 verified, local nonprofits participating this year, representing more than 25 cause areas. Communities Foundation of Texas, sponsors, and generous givers cover all transaction and technology fees, 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.
