About Johnson County Great Give Day

These are undoubtedly challenging times, and many of our most vulnerable neighbors are facing increased hardship. The future of the places and spaces we cherish can feel uncertain.

However, this moment also presents an opportunity for us to take action – locally and together.

May 7th marks the third annual Johnson County Great Give Day, a collective day of giving, where donors are encouraged to learn more about new-to-them nonprofit organizations, the work of the nonprofit sector in Johnson County, and make a gift (or a few!) to support philanthropy in Johnson County. On this single day – May 7, 2025 –  Johnson County nonprofit organizations will share, with one voice, the incredible work they are doing, the ways in which they support our communities, and fundraise for their individual organizations. Last year, we raised over $80,000 for our local nonprofit organizations. Please consider making a gift to support the important work of local nonprofit organizations on May 7th, 2025. Your generosity helps our nonprofits continue to provide necessary supports, creative opportunities, and quality of life services for EVERYONE in our community. Thank you in advance for supporting local nonprofits!
