The nonprofit behind the day

A Day of Giving is operated by Purposeful Giving Alliance, a year-round 501(c)(3) nonprofit (EIN 33-3306350) founded in early 2025. Beyond this December Saturday, it runs back-to-school backpack drives and supports the families of police, fire and other service workers lost in the line of duty.
