Thursday is annual North Texas Giving Day, an 18-hour online giving event designed to raise awareness to opportunities for philanthropic giving in the region and "empower every person to give back to their community by supporting local nonprofits and causes they care about in one easy-to-use platform."
In 2020, $58.8 million was raised through 106,000 donors benefiting over 3,200 local nonprofits, bringing the 12-year total to over $375 million for the region, the Communities Foundation of Texas said. "NTX Giving Day is the largest community-wide giving event in the nation.
"Since its inception in 2009, this online event has transformed from an idea to help local people give wisely, to a movement that has ignited a broad culture of community-wide giving."
