Coastal Bend Day of Giving Named Best Annual Fundraiser in Bend Magazine’s 2026 Local’s List
Coastal Bend Community Foundation is honored to share that Coastal Bend Day of Giving has been named Best Annual Fundraiser in Bend Magazine’s 2026 Local’s List.
This recognition reflects the generosity of the donors, nonprofit partners, sponsors, and community members who make Coastal Bend Day of Giving possible each year. Together, they help strengthen local nonprofits and create lasting impact throughout the Coastal Bend.
Since its launch in 2009, Coastal Bend Day of Giving has grown into the region’s most impactful giving events, raising more than $41 million for local nonprofits. In 2025 alone, more than 8,400 donors contributed $4.53 million to support 63 participating organizations serving communities across the Coastal Bend.
We are also grateful to Bend Magazine for selecting Coastal Bend Community Foundation as the charitable partner of this year’s Local’s List Celebration. A portion of event proceeds will support our work to improve quality of life across the seven counties we serve.
Thank you to everyone who nominated, voted, and supported Coastal Bend Day of Giving. We look forward to continuing this tradition of generosity on November 10, 2026, for the 18th annual Coastal Bend Day of Giving.
