Nonprofit Registration Opens for the 10th Annual Give Big Gallatin Valley
Nonprofits located in or serving Gallatin County are invited to register for Montana’s largest 24-hour giving day hosted by One Valley Community Foundation.
Gallatin County, MT - Nonprofits across Gallatin County are invited to register for the landmark 10th annual Give Big Gallatin Valley, scheduled for May 2nd and 3rd, 2024. Hosted by One Valley Community Foundation, this 24-hour giving day has become a cornerstone event in the region, dedicated to supporting local nonprofits and celebrating their impact on communities in our region.
Over the past nine years, Give Big Gallatin Valley has raised over $14.3 million for 425 local nonprofits, making it the largest 24-hour giving day in Montana. In 2023 alone, 6,650 donors rallied together to contribute $2,923,009 to 250 nonprofits during Give Big. Celebrating a decade of generosity, One Valley hopes to break records again by raising $3 million during Give Big 2024.
This annual event plays a vital role in providing critical support to nonprofits of all sizes, empowering them to raise unrestricted funds, the most difficult and important type of funds to galvanize. By participating in Give Big, organizations gain access to a broad donor base, with funds raised sustaining essential programs and services. Reflecting on the impact of Give Big, Stevie Croisant from We Are HER, a participating organization from the 2023 event, emphasized, “As a 100% volunteer-run organization, Give Big is crucial for us to sustain our mission. During Give Big, we raise 40% of our annual operating budget. We're grateful to One Valley Community Foundation for making this community-wide fundraiser possible.”
Nonprofits located in or serving Gallatin Valley are encouraged to register for this year's event by visiting GiveBigGV.org before the March 15th deadline. One Valley Community Foundation offers a range of resources, including educational webinars and promotional materials, to assist nonprofits in maximizing their impact during the event.
"One Valley is thrilled to be hosting our 10th annual Give Big Gallatin Valley this year,” said Jill Ellwood, One Valley Community Foundation’s Nonprofit Programming and Relations Manager. “What began as a vision of raising $100,000 in 24 hours ten years ago has evolved into an event eagerly anticipated by our community each year. Witnessing the power of collective action and its profound impact on our local nonprofits is truly inspiring.”
With the continued growth of our community, local nonprofits face increasing service demands and funding needs. One Valley Community Foundation, in collaboration with the event’s headline sponsor, Yellowstone Club Community Foundation, invites community members from Bozeman to West Yellowstone to join forces at GiveBigGV.org on May 2nd and 3rd and celebrate the nonprofits that play a vital role in cultivating a strong and vibrant Gallatin County.
