Scott Community Foundation Giving Day will expand into a month-long campaign, with Giving Month running from October 5 through November 5, 2026. During this time, participating organizations are encouraged to actively promote their cause and encourage donations. Donations received during Giving Month will count toward your Giving Day totals and may qualify for bonus match funding. Giving Day on November 5 will remain our community-wide celebration and final day of the campaign.

Giving Day is an annual community-wide fundraising event hosted by the Scott Community Foundation. For one day each year, donors come together to support the local nonprofits they care about most.

WHY GIVE ON GIVING DAY?
STRETCH YOUR GIFT
A donation is always appreciated, but Giving Day is the one day your gift has the potential to do even more. When you give during Giving Day, participating nonprofits have opportunities to earn bonus dollars in addition to the donations they receive.
There may even be access to matching funds, helping your donation stretch even further.
EARN BONUS DOLLARS
Throughout the day, nonprofits can earn additional funding by participating in challenges, contests, and games. Whether it may be receiving the first donation of the hour, reaching a fundraising milestone, or winning a special challenge, these extra dollars provide even more support for local organizations.
COMMUNITY GENEROSITY
Giving Day brings our entire community together around one shared purpose—supporting the nonprofits that make Scott County stronger. Your participation inspires others to give, creating excitement and momentum that lasts all day.
