Supporting Local Non-Profits Supports Our Local Community
Although North Texas Giving Day (NTGD) has been around several years, not everyone has connected with what this event is all about and how it positively impacts us locally. There are so many dynamic non-profits making a difference right outside your door. The Independent Sector explains, "There are many kinds of nonprofits -- the Internal Revenue Code defines more than 25 categories of organizations that are exempt from federal income taxes. But for most people, a nonprofit refers to what the tax code classifies as a "charitable" or 501(c)(3) organization. What separates a charitable organization from other types of tax-exempt organizations is its purpose: it must benefit the broad public interest. Common purposes of these organizations include “charitable, religious, educational, scientific, literary, testing for public safety, fostering national or international amateur sports competition, or the prevention of cruelty to children or animals." 
What is North Texas Giving Day? North Texas' incredible generosity has broken the national record 3 years in a row! After last year's national record-crushing 75,000 donations totaling $26.3 million, North Texas Giving Day is back with the hopes that North Texas will raise the giving day bar once again to benefit more North Texas non-profits. On September 17, 2015, donations of $25 or more can be made 6 a.m. to midnight to more than 2,100 certified nonprofits listed on www.NorthTexasGivingDay.org. Those donations will be amplified by more than $2 million dollars in bonus funds and prizes. (Source: www.northtexasgivingday.org) When is NTGD?
