About GiveBIG

GiveBIG is a statewide fundraising campaign where individuals and organizations come together across Washington to invest in our communities. When we give, we take a proactive step towards creating the society we want to live in.

Every spring, the excitement for GiveBIG builds through word-of-mouth, social media, and an extensive multimedia promotional campaign, with local celebrities and sports teams firing up the community to show their generosity. 

GiveBIG 2026 was on May 5 and raised $7.3 million for nonprofits across Washington!

GiveBIG was started by the Seattle Foundation in 2011 and transferred to 501 Commons in 2018. Since its inception, nonprofits have raised nearly $200 million! The campaign raises awareness of the great work nonprofits are doing across the state and mobilizes donors to get into the generous spirit of giving.
