El Paso Giving Day – October 21,2021

What is El Paso Giving Day?

El Paso Giving Day is an on-line charitable giving campaign designed to shine a light on the essential work of nonprofit organizations and ignite the spirit of giving in our community. Founded in 2016 by the Paso del Norte Community Foundation and partner organizations, El Paso Giving Day has raised nearly $8 million from thousands of donors for over 200 nonprofit organizations.

Who can donate?

Anyone may make a tax-deductible donation to one or more nonprofit organizations via credit/debit card and electronic check/bank draft through the El Paso Giving Day portal with a minimum donation of $10. All donations will be processed by the Paso del Norte Community Foundation, who will issue the tax-receipt to donors and distribute gifts to the designated nonprofit organizations. Participating nonprofits may send thank you letters for gifts designated to their organizations but may not issue a tax-receipt.

All donations through El Paso Giving Day must be 100% tax deductible; consequently, no goods or services may be exchanged for the gift. A participating organization nor any person raising funds for an organization can offer any kind of incentive (time, product or consideration) in exchange for donations made through El Paso Giving Day.

El Paso Giving Day will not share or sell donor information to any other organization or entity, but El Paso Giving Day and Paso del Norte Community Foundation does reserve the right to communicate with donors for the purpose of user surveys, newsletters and general education about philanthropy.

El Paso Giving Day is a program of the Paso del Norte Community Foundation (PDNCF) and all donations are subject to the ultimate control of the PDNCF and its board.
