According to the President and CEO of the Communities Foundation of Texas Wayne White,
“As I look back on my first year as President and CEO of Communities Foundation of Texas and as a Dallas resident, I’ve learned that nothing compares to the generosity of North Texans, and CFT’s North Texas Giving Day is a true testament to that. The philanthropic scene here in North Texas is truly amazing. North Texans’ willingness to be generous gives me so much hope for what we can accomplish together. I’m not aware of any other community that is as generous. Our local nonprofits benefit directly, especially when we combine the power of collective giving.
“As we prepare for North Texas Giving Day 2024, I am especially thankful for each of the nonprofits that have put heart and hard work into their Giving Day campaigns. With over 3,000 participating nonprofits this year, there are more than 25 areas you can support. You can view all of these organizations at NorthTexasGivingDay.org and filter them by location, size, or by those that will match your donation. CFT’s North Texas Giving Day makes it easy for everyone to give to the causes they care about.
“Last year, North Texas Giving Day raised over $60 million with the help of over 97,000 donors. Over 3,200 nonprofits received donations, and since its launch in 2009, North Texas Giving Day has raised $566 million for our community. This impact is only possible thanks to donors like you and our incredible Giving Day partners.
