Giving Days are 24-hour (or longer) digital fundraising challenges that aim to rally groups of people to support a particular region, cause, event, or organization. They generate excitement and create a sense of unity for all involved, all while raising funds and filling critical needs.

Here at GiveGab, we are constantly in awe of our Giving Day partners nationwide. Every single one of them shows incredible drive and motivation to serve their communities including the many nonprofits in them doing such impactful work.

On July 24-25, 2019, GiveGab celebrated its third annual Giving Day Leaders Forum (GDLF), bringing together philanthropic leaders from all corners of the country.

On March 21 and 22, 2018, from 6 pm to 6 pm, North Central Florida celebrated their annual Giving Day, The Amazing Give 2018!

This year’s 24-hour giving event was held from 6 PM on March 20 to 6 PM on March 21.  Details on last year’s Giving Day can be found here: Western New York Celebrates Fifth Annual Giving Day, Spring it On 2017.

With Giving Days becoming increasingly popular, the number of technology platforms that host them has also increased.  In this article, Aaron Godert, GiveGab’s Co-founder and Chief Operations Officer, elaborates on the importance of the technology behind giving day platforms.
