We are proud to release our Report to the Community, a peek at the giving that drove a remarkable 24 hours for 826 local nonprofits during this year’s Big Day of Giving, raising $13.2 million for local nonprofits and propelling this community-wide movement past $100 million raised since 2013!
Our program to grow local philanthropy, Big Day of Giving is an annual, 24-hour giving movement that unites El Dorado, Placer, Sacramento, and Yolo counties to raise unrestricted funds for nonprofits that strengthen the capital area — and it’s also a year-round capacity-building program to connect the social sector. We always say that its success is more than headline-grabbing numbers: The real magic is how Big Day of Giving fosters ties between people and place, between neighbors. Creating a more connected region the true legacy of Big Day of Giving!
We hope the information included in this year’s Report to the Community illuminates the incredible effort and highlights the donors, community partners, and nonprofit staff and volunteers who made it possible — we send you our deepest gratitude! This year’s Big Day of Giving would not have been possible without the support of our community partners, including our returning lead sponsor, Western Health Advantage.
