From countywide celebrations to events hosted by local nonprofits, Give Big is full of opportunities to connect, learn, and be part of something bigger.
Give Big Fest

Events Hosted by Your Organization
Events are an optional way to bring people together, share your mission, and celebrate generosity during Give Big.
What are Give Big events?
Give Big events are in person or virtual gatherings that:
- Invite neighbors, donors, and volunteers into your work
- Create touchpoints for conversation and connection
- Highlight the impact of your organization year round
There is no single right way to host an event. Start with what feels authentic and manageable for your team.
Event ideas
Many nonprofits choose simple formats that are easy to run and welcoming for the community, such as:
- Open houses or office tours
- Hands on activities or demonstrations
- Partnerships with local businesses
- Small gatherings with board members, donors, or volunteers
- Informational sessions that introduce new supporters to your mission
Events do not need to be large or complex. A thoughtful, welcoming space can go a long way.
Scheduling note
One Valley will host Give Big Fest celebrations across the county on Thursday evening.
Nonprofits are encouraged to participate in their local Give Big Fest and plan any in person events for Friday.
