ExtraGive

ExtraGive

During this 24-hour fundraiser, join thousands of community members as they make online donations to more than 400 local organizations that directly impact the quality of life in Lancaster County (and beyond). Launched in 2012 by the Lancaster County Community Foundation, the ExtraGive is considered to be Lancaster County’s biggest day of giving. Since 2012, 40,000 donors have raised over $110 million for more than 500 organizations. Donations per capita in Lancaster County are among the most generous in the nation, and the Foundation credits the dedication of participating organizations, members of the community, and sponsors that help stretch every dollar that is donated as the reason for its success. A festive countdown party is held at the Lancaster County Convention Center (8 p.m.-midnight/25 S. Queen St., Lancaster). Many participating organizations will be hosting their own fundraisers and celebrations throughout the day; details can be found on the website.
