How To Participate

DONATE

Join the thousands of donors—your friends, peers, and neighbors—who support causes that matter to them!

Early Giving begins on November 3, and Give Local will take place from November 10 - 21, 2025.

During this time, you can donate by searching for a specific organization or browsing all participating causes. From the Cause Type menu, you can browse Organizations, Fundraisers, and other peer-to-peer campaigns. Categories will bring up organizations that fit certain mission areas. You can also select "Donations Matched" to find nonprofits with live matches, helping your dollars go even further.

CREATE A FUNDRAISER

Take a leading role in supporting the causes that are important to you.

Once our nonprofit partner's pages go live, it's easy to fundraise alongside them through a peer-to-peer fundraising campaign! You can create your very own fundraising page, share it with your networks, and watch your selected nonprofit inch closer to its fundraising goal as donations come in through your page. You can even encourage friendly competition by setting a goal and encouraging your friends to join you in fundraising for their favorite participating nonprofits.

How to Fundraise Alongside Your Favorite Nonprofit:

Your peer-to-peer fundraising page is a fundraiser where all funds go directly to the selected nonprofit. Here's how to set yours up:

Head to the search and find a nonprofit you would like to campaign for. Once you have chosen the organization, you will be taken to their organization page.
Click the “Fundraise” button to begin the creation process. When you click “Fundraise” from the organization page, your fundraiser will automatically be linked to the organization. If you haven't logged in or set up an account yet, you will be asked to do so on the platform.
After logging in, select "Get Started." You're now ready to start creating your page! Add content, images, and personal stories to make your page as unique as you. Then, share your page link with your social circle to encourage them to join you in supporting the work of your selected nonprofit.

SPREAD THE WORD

Give Local is for EVERYONE.

Once Give Local goes live, share your spirit of generosity with your friends, family, neighbors, and coworkers. By simply giving your favorite nonprofit a shout-out on social media or mentioning their name in conversation, you can expand their circles of support in ways you cannot imagine. These actions might feel small, but they are significant.

VOLUNTEER

"The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others." – Gandhi

Did you know that volunteering can help you learn new skills, make friends, and feel happier overall? You'll feel more connected to your community and know you are making a difference by becoming a volunteer for a nonprofit.

Many Give Local organizations are run entirely by volunteers or rely heavily on their support. Consider giving the gift of your time and talent! Contact your favorite organization to see if they have a volunteer opportunity that is right for you.
