This well-established Giving Day is an outstanding source of publicity for local businesses because it reaches thousands of donors and community members, and we take every opportunity to shine a spotlight on the sponsors that make it possible!
- Since 2014, our community has raised more than $4.3 million for nonprofits addressing a variety of issues, including animals, arts and history, civic affairs, education, the environment, health, poverty, and much more.
- Over 100 nonprofits across the New River Valley participate each year in the Community Foundation's annual Giving Day, reaching thousands of donors in the counties of Floyd, Giles, Montgomery, Pulaski, Wythe, and the City of Radford.
- The Community Foundation engages in year-round publicity for the platform and executes a concentrated marketing campaign specific to the Giving Day that reaches thousands of community members.
