Founded in 2016 by the Paso del Norte Community Foundation, El Paso Giving Day is an online charitable giving campaign designed to shine a light on the essential work of nonprofit organizations and ignite the spirit of giving among new and younger donors in our community.
Since its inception, El Paso Giving Day has raised over $9 million from thousands of donors for over 200 nonprofit organizations in the Paso del Norte region. El Paso Giving Day is considered the largest, and often, the only major fundraising campaign for many nonprofit organizations — the money that is raised here, stays here.
The Paso del Norte Community Foundation charges a small fee of $10 to area nonprofit organizations for participation. The PdNCF invests more than $35,000 a year in in-kind support to cover the costs of coordinating, accounting, and administering El Paso Giving Day.
El Paso Giving Day is supported through the generous volunteer efforts of the El Paso Giving Day Committee and sub-committees, comprising nonprofit and business leaders who provide guidance and support in the planning and execution of El Paso Giving Day. We are grateful to our volunteers for their dedication and support of our growing community of philanthropy.
