Big Day of Giving 2021 Report to the Community
Looking back on an incredible day of generosity
Weare proud to release our Report to the Community, an initial peek at the giving that drove a record-breaking 24 hours for 688 local nonprofits during this year's Big Day of Giving.
On Thursday, May 6, our region rallied and grew giving across the board. Over 36,5000 people gave generously to nonprofits in every mission category, and gifts to some categories—Human Services, Health, Mental Health & Crisis Intervention, among others—grew substantially over past years, showing local donors' sensitivity to the pandemic's impact on those organizations and the people they serve.
We hope the information included in this Report illuminates the incredible day and highlights the donors, community partners, and nonprofit staff and volunteers who made it possible—we send them our deepest gratitude!
