The Community Foundation of NCW announced today that its annual Give NCW campaign raised $904,765 during the 2024 holiday giving season, marking [it] a record-breaking year for the regional fundraising initiative with an impressive 31% increase from last year's $686,899.
The campaign, which ran from Thanksgiving Day through December 31st, supported 85 nonprofit organizations across Chelan, Douglas, and Okanogan counties. The "Give to All" fund, which benefits all participating organizations, generated more than $130,000, providing each qualifying nonprofit with an additional $1,558.65 in support.
"The power of Give NCW comes from every single person who participates," said Jennifer Dolge of the Community Foundation of NCW. "When you combine thousands of individual acts of giving – whether it's rounding up at Plaza Super Jet or making a donation online – you create a wave of positive change that strengthens our entire region.”
Give NCW facilitated giving through multiple channels, including online donations, donor-advised funds, IRA qualified charitable distributions, and gifts of stock. The campaign ensured that 100% of donations went directly to the chosen nonprofits by covering all credit card processing fees.
The campaign featured special incentives to encourage giving, including "Funday Monday" weekly drawings where donors could win $1,000 to distribute to their chosen nonprofits. Local businesses also played a crucial role in the campaign's success through various community partnerships. Plaza Super Jet, a locally owned market in Wenatchee, contributed through charitable roundups along with Icicle Brewing Company. The Taproom by Hellbent Brewing held the fundraising event “Drink Beer. Do Good.” and Munchen Haus hosted “Benevolent Night”—all helping to rally community support for the Give NCW campaign.
As we look ahead to 2025, this year's Give NCW campaign builds a powerful springboard for our region's future. Behind every donation is a story - arts programs enriching local culture, families finding stable housing, seniors accessing essential care, children discovering new opportunities, and so much more. These investments in community help create a stronger, more vibrant North Central Washington.
