2025 Giving Day Organization Sizes

2025 Organization Sizes

Each year, for some of our grants, we divide the list of participating organizations into three groups based on their budget sizes (small-, medium-, and large-sized organizations.)


These sizes are for our "Most Money Raised" and "Most Unique Donors" grants. For each of these grants, you'll compete with organizations within your size group for a chance to $1,500! See below for this year's categories. 

If you think your organization is in the wrong category, please let the CFNRV know by Friday, May 30. No changes will be made after that date.

Thematic Area Grants

New Thematic Area Grants

This year, due to donor generosity, the CFNRV is pleased to announce three new grants based on three thematic areas organizations work in: arts and culture, education, and environmental sustainability/natural resource conservation.  

Your organization's category is determined by the thematic area your organization selected in the sign-up process. If you think your organization is in the wrong thematic category, please let the CFNRV know by Friday, June 13. No changes will be made after that date.
