  • What: Through our GiveLocalNRV initiative, the Community Foundation of the New River Valley (CFNRV) offers the GiveLocalNRV platform for free to organizations that serve the NRV. Organization can use this platform year-round to raise funds and awareness for their organizations. The signature event for this initiative is our annual giving day. Since 2014, the event has raised more than $4.3 million from thousands of donors for dozens of wonderful causes. The first giving day raised just under $40,000. Since 2020, the event has raised more than $400,000 each year, including a record-breaking year in 2023 when we raised $921,648.
  • When: Wednesday, June 25 - Thursday, June 26 from noon to noon. Donations starting June 1, 2025 count towards the Giving Day totals to help nonprofits secure additional grants and prizes from the CFNRV.
  • Who: Led by the CFNRV team, who hosts the platform year-round and provides support to nonprofits serving the region. The CFNRV partners with Mightycause on GiveLocalNRV, which provides the platform.
  • Where: givelocalnrv.org, with many nonprofits also accepting cash and check donations.
  • Why: The Giving Day supports nonprofits working to raise money online, makes it easy for community members to support local charities through a single, secure site, and demonstrates the range of services the Foundation offers to donors and nonprofits alike.
