Nonprofits in East Texas benefited from the generosity of 6,429 donors during East Texas Giving Day, the region’s recognized day of giving to support local nonprofits. The online fundraising effort began at 6 a.m. on Tuesday, April 28, and ended at midnight. Based on preliminary results, donors contributed $3.65 to support the causes they care about in 32 East Texas counties.
“East Texas residents responded with incredible generosity,” said Kyle Penney, President of East Texas Communities Foundation, which hosts the event. “Our nonprofit partners put in tremendous effort to highlight the needs in our communities, and donors answered that call in a powerful way. The results reflect the deep commitment across our region to support one another and improve our communities.”
