“Today’s amazing outpouring of generosity underscores how much North Texans care about each other and the nonprofits that keep our region strong. Even as our community rallies with the nation to support those affected by recent hurricanes, donations came from all 50 states and 36 countries totaling $39 million for North Texas nonprofits on North Texas Giving Day,” says Dave Scullin, CEO of Communities Foundation Texas, presenter of North Texas Giving Day. “We are beyond blown away that so many people came together to set another national giving record. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you.”
