This year marked the 15th anniversary of CFT’s North Texas Giving Day. Together, our community of givers has fueled this incredible generosity movement, generating more than $566 million in impact for nonprofits since its inception in 2009.
North Texas Giving Day is the largest community-wide giving event in the nation. But even bigger than that — it serves as a day of unity and hope. As nonprofits fill in the gaps for critical needs, North Texas Giving Day amplifies stories, uplifts impact, and welcomes each person to share their care for the community. Challenging the alarming recent national trends of charitable giving decreasing for the first time in years, $63.9 million was raised in September through 97,132 donors benefiting 3,249 local nonprofits. Our community has once again proven that incredible things can happen when we come together to give a little and help a lot.
CFT has invested millions of dollars over the past 15 years to ensure that North Texas Giving Day is building capacity for our nonprofits and our community as we seek to improve the quality of life across North Texas. To continue our look to the future, CFT launched a new Leadership Innovation Fund supporting research and development to ensure we can continue to build capacity through this groundswell of giving.
“The evolution and growth of the North Texas nonprofit community has inspired me for years. CFT’s North Texas Giving Day is a powerful tool to empower nonprofits, dream big together, and build a thriving community.”
