During the 24 hours of Give BIG Green Bay 2026, a record $3.7 million was raised to support 50 local nonprofits working to meet needs across Brown County — bringing the event’s nine-year total to more than $20 million generated for 164 local nonprofits.
The ninth annual giving day inspired a record 5,954 donors to make 11,342 gifts to the participating nonprofits of their choosing. Notably, 42% of donors identified themselves as new supporters to at least one organization they chose to support.
More than $550,000 in matching funds will now be distributed across all 50 participating organizations, thanks to a $250,000 impact grant from the Green Bay Packers Foundation and contributions from other generous donors. Donors who opted to help “increase the match” contributed an additional $18,943 to ensure every gift will go even further.
Of the participating nonprofits, three will receive a $5,000 incentive for securing the most unique donors in their size category: Freedom House, Happily Ever After, and Foster the Village.
The Mark Murphy Give BIG Green Bay Spirit Award was awarded to the Volunteer Center of Brown County for best embodying the values and spirit of Give BIG Green Bay, as voted on by their peers. The Volunteer Center received a commemorative football and $1,000 incentive to further its mission.
