Join the Giving Revolution: Santa Cruz Gives
November 18 - December 31, 2026
• 75 local nonprofits
• Minimum donation $5
Santa Cruz Gives has raised $10 million for more than 100 local nonprofits and is now the largest countywide fundraiser supporting multiple nonprofits. If you have walked on a clean beach, enjoyed a park, attended an arts or music event, received health care services, adopted a pet, or enrolled a child in an activity—you have encountered the good work of local nonprofits.
Often the benefits are not visible—when the work mitigates negative impacts. One thing is certain: Our community would be far less desirable without the dedication of these groups, driven only by a desire to improve our collective circumstances.
