ERIE GIVES

Erie Gives is a community-wide day of giving that supports nonprofit organizations serving Erie County. Each year, individuals, families, and businesses come together to make online donations, and those gifts create a powerful collective impact across our region.

At The Erie Community Foundation, our mission is to inspire, engage, and empower our community. Erie Gives brings that mission to life by connecting people with causes they care about and amplifying the impact of every donation.

Erie Gives continues to be a shared celebration of generosity, community connection, and support for the nonprofits that strengthen Erie County.

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.

When Erie gives, everyone grows.
