A large, diverse group of people stands indoors, smiling and waving green and blue pom-poms. In front, a banner reads ERIE GIVES in large letters. The setting is an ornate, colorful hall with patterned floors.

Year after year, our community comes together in an energy-filled 24-hours of giving. Join us on August 11, 2026, for our 16th Annual Erie Gives!

What is Erie Gives?

Erie Gives is a 24 hour online giving event that unites our community around a simple idea: when we give together, we create extraordinary change together. Hosted annually by The Erie Community Foundation, Erie Gives connects thousands of donors with hundreds of local nonprofit organizations working to strengthen the Erie region.

Since its launch in 2011, Erie Gives has raised more than $77.7 million for local nonprofits, empowering organizations that provide food, shelter, education, arts and culture, youth programs, animal welfare, environmental stewardship, and countless other vital services.

For one day each year, Erie comes together to support the causes and communities we care about most. Every gift, no matter the size, helps create opportunities, inspire hope, and build a stronger future for our region.

Because when Erie gives, everyone grows.
