At 6 a.m., did you discover that you were the most popular person in the world when your emailbox filled with “Today’s the day” type missives? Yup. You were warned. North Texas Giving Day has become the Olympics of area fundraising with nonprofits promoting their causes via all types of means — emails, TV, print media and carrier pigeons. Okay, so maybe not carrier pigeons, but you get the drift.

But it’s working. Within the first 3.5 hours, more than $6M has already been donated by more than 24,000 gifts.
If you want to monitor the progress of overall funding or your absolute fav organization, check the North Texas Giving Day website. You’ll also find a list of activities that are taking place throughout North Texas to promote the fun of fundraising.
And if you want to credit someone with all the hoop-la, send a note to Communities Foundation of Texas. They’re out to break another record this year. Stay tuned.
