Since 2017, Abilene Gives has been more than a day of giving—it has been a celebration of our nonprofit community, local philanthropy, and what is possible when people come together for a common purpose.
What began in 2017 as a bold idea raised more than $468,000 in its inaugural year. Now, in its 10th and final year, Abilene Gives brought together more than 3,500 donors who collectively raised more than $2.27 million, benefiting 196 nonprofits. Over the course of a decade, Abilene Gives has generated more than $16 million.
To every donor, nonprofit, sponsor, volunteer, and friend who has been part of Abilene Gives—and part of the Foundation’s 40-year story—thank you. What began as one day of giving became a decade of generosity, and its impact will continue shaping our community for years to come. ✨
