Thursday is NORTH TEXAS GIVING DAY!!

North Texas Giving Day is an online giving event that provides nonprofits the opportunity to gain exposure to — and start relationships with — new donors, and for people in North Texas to come together to raise as much money as possible for local nonprofits. In just six years, North Texas Giving Day has pumped more than $86 million into the North Texas community. In 2014, more than 98,000 gifts totalling $26.3 million benefited 1,580 nonprofits. Your donation of $25 or more is eligible for a bonus fund through the program, so your donation goes further in helping KNON 89.3 FM stay on the air.
