Countdown to El Paso Giving Day, early donations now open!

EL PASO, TX (KVIA) – El Paso Giving Day, the city’s largest giving day, is tomorrow, October 17, but El Paso residents can donate now during the early giving period. The annual event is organized by the Paso del Norte Community Foundation and supports local nonprofit organizations in our community.

This year, 258 organizations are taking part, the largest participation to date. These nonprofit organizations operate in a variety of areas, including animal welfare, arts and culture, education, senior services, and more.

Last year the church donated more than $1.3 million and hopes to raise $1.5 million this year.

“We always remind our community that every gift, big or small, makes a difference,” Andrea Macias, development coordinator for the Paso del Norte Community Foundation, told ABC-7. “El Paso Giving Day is a unique program because everything raised here stays here, helping to support nonprofits that serve some of our most vulnerable populations.”

The minimum donation is $10 and donations can be made online or in person. Donations will be accepted until the official El Paso Giving Day on October 17th.
