Give Big Gallatin Valley Raises $2.8 million for 259 local nonprofits
One Valley Community Foundation’s Give Big celebrates a major milestone, surpassing
$20 million raised over the past 11 years.
Gallatin County, MT — Community generosity took center stage as One Valley Community Foundation’s 11th annual Give Big Gallatin Valley raised over $2.8 million for nonprofits serving Gallatin County. The 24-hour giving initiative, held May 1–2, rallied over 5,500 donors in support of 259 local organizations, providing essential unrestricted funding to nonprofits working across every sector—from housing and healthcare to education, arts, conservation, and more.
This year’s effort also marked a major milestone: since its founding in 2015, Give Big Gallatin Valley has raised more than $20 million for 489 nonprofits throughout the region.
“Give Big is about more than just fundraising—it’s about community,” said Bridget Wilkinson, President & CEO of One Valley Community Foundation. “Each gift is a vote of confidence in the nonprofits that serve our region every day. Surpassing $20 million raised since 2015 reflects not only the power of this initiative, but the deep care Gallatin County residents have for one another.”
Although the official giving window has passed, the platform at GiveBigGV.org will remain open through Tuesday, May 6 at 11:59 p.m., allowing community members a last opportunity to give.
Now entering its second decade, Give Big Gallatin Valley, powered by One Valley Community Foundation, continues to be one of the region’s most impactful and unifying annual traditions.
“We are honored to invest in Give Big through our partnership with One Valley Community Foundation to support regional nonprofits and to strengthen the bonds within our community; Community giving encourages a legacy of generosity, purpose, and shared success where every contribution makes a meaningful impact,” said Ryan Rodriguez, Senior Program Officer at Yellowstone Club Community Foundation, Give Big’s headline sponsor since 2018.
