NEPA Gives
NEPA Gives is a 24-hour giving extravaganza that’s all about giving back to your community. Now in its 7th year, this one-day giving event is the largest of its kind in Northeast Pennsylvania.
For 24 hours—from 7:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. on Thursday, June 4, 2026 to Friday, June 5, 2026—donors make secure donations to their favorite local nonprofit organizations through the NEPA Gives online platform. Donations to participating nonprofits will be enhanced with bonus funds provided by NEPA Gives sponsors—making donor dollars stretch further! Nonprofits will also be eligible for cash prizes.
