The 2026 North Texas Giving Day campaign brought in over $76 million from 94,700 donors by midnight on Sept. 17. Communities Foundation of Texas organized the 18th annual event. Dallas, about 42 miles south of Anna, issued a proclamation naming Sept. 17, 2026, as North Texas Giving Day.
More than 3,300 nonprofits received donations across 25 areas, including education, health, social services, arts, environmental work and animal welfare. The preliminary 2026 amount was above the $74.2 million raised from 94,000 donors at the same stage in 2025. After processing continued through Sept. 30, the 2025 campaign’s total rose to $78 million.
Since 2009, contributions to North Texas nonprofits have totaled $788 million. Amazon, the presenting sponsor, also donated to 15 participating organizations. Communities Foundation of Texas and its sponsors covered transaction and technology fees for gifts submitted through NorthTexasGivingDay.org, so each tax-deductible contribution made there went in full to the nonprofit selected by the donor.
The online platform operates year-round for cause campaigns, matching fundraisers, corporate group gifts and nonprofit-led fundraising. The next North Texas Giving Day is set for Sept. 16, 2027. Local Profile reported the totals and event information.
