According to Communities Foundation of Texas President and CEO Wayne White,
“As I reflect on my first year as President and CEO at 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 this. The philanthropic scene here in North Texas is truly amazing. The willingness for North Texans to be generous gives me so much hope for what we can accomplish together. There isn’t another community I’m aware of with this level of generosity. Our local nonprofits directly benefit from this, especially when we channel the power of collective giving.
“As we get ready for North Texas Giving Day 2024, I’m especially grateful to each of the nonprofits who have been putting heart and hard work into their Giving Day campaigns. With 3,000+ nonprofits participating this year, there are more than 25 cause areas you can support. You can view all 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 anyone to give to the causes they care about.
“Last year, North Texas Giving Day raised over $60 million with the help of 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. That impact is only possible because of givers like you and our incredible Giving Day partners.
“CFT, sponsors, and generous individuals cover all program fees during North Texas Giving Day, so 100% of your gift goes directly to the nonprofits of your choice. In addition to the generosity of MySweetCharity, which helps tell the stories of participating nonprofits each year, we have received sponsorship support from

“CFT’s mission is to improve the lives of all people in our community by investing in their health, wealth, living, and learning, and North Texas Giving Day plays a big role in advancing this work. I take CFT’s charge to grow community giving seriously, so I want to invite every North Texas resident to support the causes you care about. You can make your gifts starting Sunday, September 1 all the way through Thursday, September 19 at NorthTexasGivingDay.org. A little goes a long way when North Texans give all at once.”
