North Texas Gives

$80 million raised for our community through two giving days in 2020

December 18, 2020

While 2020 has challenged our community in many ways, we have seen an extraordinary outpouring of support as North Texans have rallied together to be there for each other.

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused individuals, families, and communities to reimagine life in a rapidly changing landscape. As the force behind the largest giving day in the nation, North Texas Giving Day, we at Communities Foundation of Texas learned how to make a swift pirouette in order to react, relate, and respond. In listening to our community, our nonprofit leaders, and people on the ground, we learned to partner and scale more effectively and encouraged an already generous community to dig a little deeper to give help and hope.

Through two giving days, one emergency pop up day in May –North Texas Giving Tuesday Now – and the regularly scheduled fall event – North Texas Giving Day – our community raised nearly $80 million dollars to fuel the vital work that keeps our region surviving, growing and thriving.

While our community continues to face new obstacles, CFT is committed to supporting the nonprofits providing vital services for those in need, vital services for those on the front lines, and vital support for those creating and teaching, feeding and clothing, and caring for friends, neighbors, and strangers across our region.

Like you, we have been heartened by the numerous acts of kindness, generosity, and empathy that have touched every corner of our community throughout this difficult year. They provide us hope, promise, and guidance for a brighter future.
