SHARE the GOOD

11 Years of Doing Good!

We’re excited to co-present the 11th Annual GoodGiving Challenge! When we first hosted the GoodGiving Challenge in 2011, we were confident our community would show up to support the local nonprofits that work hard every day to make the Bluegrass great. And WOW did you prove us right!

Since we launched the GoodGiving Challenge 11 years ago, together we’ve raised an amazing $14 million for hundreds of local nonprofits! We hope the 2021 GoodGiving Challenge is the biggest and best yet, but we need your help!

The fun starts at 9 a.m. on Giving Tuesday, November 30, at BGgives.org. Until then, read about the 179 local nonprofits and the daily match challenges, and make plans to give from Giving Tuesday through Monday, December 6!

Thank you to the generous sponsors who have provided $600,000+ in exciting matches and prizes to boost the impact of gifts, large and small! And thank YOU, to the thousands of donors who have generously given year after year!

Great things happen in a giving community. With 179 local nonprofits to support, the sky’s the limit on what we can accomplish when we give together. Join us!
