On May 6th and 7th from 6 p.m. to 6 p.m., One Valley Community Foundation will host the seventh annual Give Big Gallatin Valley initiative. Give Big is a 24-hour celebration that raises critical funds for nonprofits located in, or serving, Gallatin County. The initiative is designed to connect donors to the nonprofits they care most about and raise unrestricted funding to support their work. Over the past seven years, our community has come together to raise nearly $6 million through more than 25,000 gifts for over 195 local nonprofits during Give Big. Last year alone, 5,782 generous donors raised more than $1.8 million for 195 nonprofits. This year, One Valley’s goal is to inspire 7,000 donors in our community to donate to their favorite nonprofits in Gallatin County in 24 hours. To help us reach our goal and provide these organizations with much-needed support, we are teaming up with Yellowstone Club Community Foundation to encourage our community to give big on May 6th and 7th, a Gallatin County tradition. “Each year, we are humbled by the extraordinary generosity of neighbors throughout Gallatin County during Give Big. Every gift matters to our nonprofit organizations who are working tirelessly to support the needs of our growing region,” said Bridget Wilkinson, Executive Director of One Valley Community Foundation.

To abide by state and local recommendations and preserve the health and safety of our community, Give Big will look different this year. But the goal of coming together as a community to give back and give big remains the same. In years past, the giving day has been enhanced by in-person events such as donor lounges, a kickoff event and a finale celebration. This year, the community will come together virtually with live-stream special events, social media and the shared spirit of giving. Everyone will be able to follow along and support their favorite causes online, as a community, on the day of the event. Cash prizes and matching
funds generated by generous local sponsors will boost giving and make every gift go further. “The Yellowstone Club Community Foundation is honored to support Give Big again this year. Give Big highlights the importance of philanthropy while also showcasing the impact of nonprofits doing vital work in our community,” said Jacque Poertner, Associate Director of the Yellowstone Club Community Foundation. “This online event encourages collaboration and enables participation from individuals and groups throughout Gallatin County, and provides a platform for the Yellowstone Club to showcase our commitment to nonprofits in Big Sky and the greater Gallatin Valley.”
