On May 1st and 2nd from 6pm to 6pm, One Valley Community Foundation will host the 11th annual Give Big Gallatin Valley initiative. Give Big is a 24-hour celebration that raises critical funds for nonprofits located in or serving Gallatin County. The initiative is designed to connect donors to the nonprofits they care most about to raise unrestricted funding to support their work. Over the past ten years, our community has come together to raise $17.4 million through 88,621 gifts for hundreds of local nonprofits during Give Big. Last year alone, 6,018 generous donors raised north of $3.13 million for 272 nonprofits.
To help nonprofits be successful during Give Big, One Valley Community Foundation will provide participants with training, resources and support to help them prepare for a successful giving day.
“Give Big Gallatin Valley is more than a fundraiser – it’s an opportunity to celebrate and amplify the vital work of our local nonprofits,” said Bridget Wilkinson, President & CEO of One Valley. “By participating in Give Big, organizations can connect with thousands of donors, raise unrestricted funds, share their stories, and inspire meaningful change across Gallatin County.”
Give Big is inclusive of nonprofits all shapes and sizes. Participating organizations are taking part to highlight their efforts, whether their work combats food insecurity, supports recreational activities for local youth, or offers the community access to the arts.
This year’s event is made possible thanks to the generous support of Headline Sponsor, Yellowstone Club Community Foundation, and Champion Sponsor, Spanish Peaks Community Foundation. Their commitment ensures that this initiative continues to inspire generosity and strengthen the nonprofit sector in Gallatin County.
The entire community is encouraged to Give BIG on May 1st and 2nd! For information about the 2025 event, in-person donation drives, and to take a look at this year’s participating nonprofit organizations, visit www.GiveBigGV.org. •
