5/3 – Day of Giving

2016 BIG Day of Giving Logo

We are so excited to be participating in the Day of Giving again this year. It is one BIG day to become a part of history!

From midnight to midnight on 5/3/16, go to BigDayofGiving.org to donate to the Developmental Disabilities Service Organization and be part of a national movement to give where your heart is!

We need YOUR help to make 2016 BIGGER and BETTER than ever and show the nation that the Sacramento region is full of generosity!


In 2015, our community made history during the second BIG Day of Giving by raising $5.6 million for 529 nonprofits from over 23,000 donors!

Pride in our region and last year’s experience lead us to believe that, together, we can reach the following goals on the BIG Day of Giving 2016:
  • To be #1 in the country in the Give Local America effort by raising $6M in unrestricted gifts, including:
  • $6M in online donations
  • From 30K donors
  • 100% board giving in all nonprofits

The BIG Day of Giving has been generously supported by incentive partners who are providing a pool of pro-rated incentive dollars to amplify every donation.  Donors can be assured that their investment will go farther! Additionally, nonprofits can compete for prize challenges throughout the day and motivate their donors to help them win extra cash.  Outreach and Business partners in the community have been incredibly generous in their support of the BIG Day of Giving as ambassadors by getting the word out and encouraging others to give to strengthen our nonprofit sector.

The BIG Day of Giving is a collaboration of GiveLocalNow and your local community foundations: Sacramento Region Community Foundation, Placer Community Foundation, and Yolo Community Foundation.
