DALLAS (WBAP/KLIF)- North Texans can donate to more than 3,000 local non-profits for this The 2021 Communities Foundation of Texas’ North Texas Giving Day. The 13th annual Giving Day follows another record-setting year, where more than 106,000 donors raised $58.8 million for more than 3,000 nonprofits. After a tough year it’s been for many businesses, especially non-profits, The Communities Foundation of Texas hopes to set a new record.

and Communities Foundation of Texas. “At the same time, we know if we can rally and galvanize the community and inspire more people to give, even in small amounts, we can and will help meet these needs and support the nonprofits doing vital work across North Texas. This year our goal is grow the spirit of giving by bringing more giving heroes into the fold individually to help the collective.”
They are hoping that by having Amazon as the inaugural presenting sponsor, they can reach more donors.
