Do you want giving to your favorite charity to be as easy as one click away? What if you could give at a more favorable time when you have the energy and extra cash before the holidays?

The 10th annual North Texas Giving Day, a special time to help nonprofit organizations in the area, is set for Thursday, Sept. 20.

It is the best day of the year to donate to your favorite local nonprofit since donations are amplified with bonus funds and prizes.

Knowing the challenges for nonprofits, North Texas Giving Day was launched in 2009 by Communities Foundation of Texas with ongoing support from Center for Nonprofit Management and The Dallas Foundation.

The website, NorthTexasGivingDay.org, is the most comprehensive and free public resource for connecting North Texas nonprofits and supporters. The site simplifies the process of researching reliable information about nonprofits and community needs, and making charitable donations.
