The 17th annual North Texas Giving Day sets new records as Communities Foundation of Texas (CFT) uplifts the generosity of North Texans. At midnight on September 18, CFT reported a record-breaking $74.2 million in donations made by 94,000 givers to 3,500 local nonprofits during this year’s North Texas Giving Day. 

In the days that followed, additional donations were received and processed, bringing this year’s North Texas Giving Day total to $78 million donated by more than 100,000 givers! Cause areas supported span from education, health and social services, to arts, the environment and animal welfare. This year also featured a record-breaking number of participating nonprofits in the program’s 17-year history. 

The total raised since North Texas Giving Day’s inception is now more than $710 million, cementing the community’s long-standing dedication to making a difference in support of thousands of nonprofits across the region. 

“North Texans once again showed the extraordinary power of collective generosity,” said Wayne White, president and CEO of Communities Foundation of Texas. “The need in our community this year is great, with many nonprofits in our region having experienced unexpected funding changes. Thanks to individuals, families, and businesses giving back in record-breaking ways, North Texas Giving Day is helping meet that need.” 

As the largest regional fundraising event in the nation, North Texas Giving Day empowers every person to give back to their community by supporting local nonprofits through donations. 

Next year’s North Texas Giving Day will be September 17, 2026.
