Supporting a favorite local nonprofit or cause doesn’t have to be difficult or time-consuming for North Texas residents, thanks to a unique fundraising event that started in 2009. For 15 years, the Communities Foundation of Texas has hosted North Texas Giving Day (NTxGD), an 18-hour community-wide online giving event designed to build awareness and support for local nonprofits. In 2023, the event raised $62.6 million for 3,249 nonprofits serving the 20-county North Texas area, “bringing the 15-year total to over $566 million,” according to the foundation.

On Sept. 19, NTxGD will once again kick off one of the largest annual community-wide fundraising events in the nation, connecting North Texas nonprofits with supporters. The event provides opportunities to donate across 27 cause areas, including animal rescue, environment and conservation, human trafficking and exploitation, and support for seniors and veterans.
