For years, Schuylkill County nonprofits have rallied support through Schuylkill Gives โ a countywide day of giving initiated by the Schuylkill Area Community Foundation. Building on the success of this effort, Schuylkill Gives is now joining NEPA Gives, the regionโs largest giving event.
The Schuylkill Area Community Foundation will collaborate with the community foundations of Scranton, Luzerne, Wayne County, Greater Pike, Carbon County, the Twin Tiers, and Monroe County. This partnership brings greater reach, more resources, and expanded opportunities for the nonprofit organizations serving Schuylkill County.
Founded in 2020, NEPA Gives was created as a regional effort to combine resources and increase impact. Since its inception, the event has raised more than $6.7 million for nonprofits across the region. In 2025 alone, the 24-hour giving event attracted more than 8,000 donors and supported nearly 300 nonprofit organizations.
The event continues to grow each year, bringing more attention, more donors, and more support to the work happening every day in our communities. As that momentum builds, so does the opportunity to get involved.
For nonprofits, NEPA Gives offers one of the most cost-effective ways to raise funds, with a built-in platform, regional promotion, and minimal overhead compared to traditional fundraising efforts.
For businesses, it's a meaningful way to show your commitment to the community, align with a region-wide movement, and gain visibility across the audiences of hundreds participating nonprofits.
For donors, it's the moment your gift goes further, with matching funds and incentives helping amplify the impact of every dollar you give.
