6/24-25: GiveLocalNRV Giving Day
Tomorrow, join 138 charitable organizations in raising funds during the New River Valley’s (NRV) 13th annual GiveLocalNRV Giving Day. Hosted by the Community Foundation of the New River Valley (CFNRV), this year’s 24-hour fundraising event will kick off at noon on Wednesday, June 24, and end at noon on Thursday, June 25.
“Throughout June during the early giving period, more than 1,000 people donated to their favorite causes,” said Lindsey Gleason-Reed, the CFNRV’s assistant director. “The 2026 Giving Day is shaping up to be another amazing day. Since 2014, our community has raised more than $5.15 million through this event.”
Organizations in six localities across the NRV are participating, including Floyd (18 organizations), Giles (7), Montgomery (70), Pulaski (16), Radford (8), and Wythe (8). An additional 11 organizations headquartered outside of our region that provide services in the NRV are participating. Participants are competing for $25,000+ in awards that the CFNRV and its generous sponsors are giving away this year.
This year’s lead sponsors are National Bank of Blacksburg and the Cranwell Family Foundation. Participants win awards by meeting specific fundraising milestones or by random chance. The awards range from $250 to $1,500. Other generous sponsors are First Bank & Trust, Atlantic Union Bank, Celco Community Credit Union, Carter Bank, LewisGale Hospital Montgomery, ACI, Inc., Locus, Olio Financial Planning, and Brown Insurance. Additionally, RadioIQ and WVTF Music are media partners for this year’s event.
