More than 235 nonprofit organizations from 13 North Texas and Southern Oklahoma Counties will come together on Sept. 7 for the area’s largest online giving day, Texoma Gives.
Ten of those organizations are located in or serve Montague County. Participating nonprofits include: Affirming Texas Families Services, Easy Street Animal Shelter, Friends of Bowie Public Library, Friends of the Bowie Animal Shelter, Kelly’s Wildlife Care, Montague County Carpenter’s Shop dba Nocona Senior Center, Nocona Lucky Paws Animal Shelter, Saint Jo Public Library, Tales ‘N’ Trails Museum and The James Bruner TK Ranch.
The 16-hour event focuses on bringing the region together on a single day to highlight the nonprofit organizations that work daily to improve the lives of others.
Online giving days like Texoma Gives also provide opportunities for nonprofits to go beyond geographic boundaries to connect with donors across the country and beyond. Since the first Texoma Gives in 2016, over $9.4 million has been raised by nonprofits in the region and gone directly to work to support important nonprofit efforts in our communities.
Early giving for Texoma Gives is now underway and will continue through 10 p.m. on Sept. 7. The minimum donation is $10.
Participants also are eligible to win “prize” money throughout the day. To donate go to texomagives.org.
