Programs and results

What we aim to solve

SOURCE: Self-reported by organization

We are working to educate local elected official on the importance and strength of our nonprofit community. Currently our Advocacy Committee is charged to create an economic impact of our combined membership in the San Antonio and surrounding area. One goal in that is to create a short-film, A Day Without Nonprofits to show the impact of the nonprofit community.

The Big Give S.A.

The Big Give is an annual 24-hour giving day. The purpose of this community-wide giving challenge is to increase public awareness of the impact local nonprofits make in addressing our community’s social challenges, bring nonprofits and donors together, expand the idea of online giving, connect people to the causes that move them the most and, of course, make giving FUN. By turning giving into a shared city-wide experience, we can significantly impact the future of San Antonio and collectively move our communities forward.
Since 2014 Big Give has helped over 1,000 local nonprofits connect with more than 262,000 individual donors and collectively raise in excess of $35 million to support the critical services they provide our community
