North Texas Giving Day is Communities Foundation of Texas’ largest community initiative, and the largest community-wide giving event in the Nation.
Thanks to help from generous givers and sponsors, Communities Foundation of Texas covers all transaction and technology fees, ensuring 100% of each donation made on the site goes to nonprofits in more than 25 cause areas across 20 North Texas counties, all year long. In 2024, the program connected over 3,200 local nonprofits with givers, raising more than $70 million.
This year's North Texas Giving Day culminates on Thursday, September 18, 2025. Giving through the website for the 2025 event opens on Thursday, August 28.

Your Gifts Make a Difference
Education
Give thousands of school children, educators and families the opportunity to visit River Legacy Nature Center for a field trip. Â For many of them, it is their first walk in the woods!
Animals
Provide care for the 102 animal ambassadors who call the Nature Center home. These turtles, snakes, fish, ferrets, and rabbits help children learn about their habitats, characteristics, and adaptations.
Exhibits
Bring visiting exhibits like the The Art and Science of Arachnids to the Nature Center. They add to our interactive Discovery Room exhibits to further engage families in environmental education and preservation.
