Founded in 2016 by the Paso del Norte Community Foundation, El Paso Giving Day is the region’s largest online day of charitable giving. Created to spotlight the vital work of nonprofit organizations and inspire a new generation of donors, El Paso Giving Day rallies our community to step into the ring for the causes that strengthen the Paso del Norte region.
Since its founding, thousands of donors have helped raise more than $13.5 million for over 260 local nonprofit organizations. What is raised here, stays here.
