Give Greater DC Day: 150+ Local Nonprofits to Celebrate the DMV on May 28th

On May 28th, Spur Local is hosting the region’s first Give Greater DC day to celebrate people making a meaningful difference for local communities and neighborhoods in the DMV.

Amid regional and national uncertainty, local organizations play a major role in educating our children, creating art that inspires us, cleaning our rivers, feeding those who lack access to healthy food, and so much more. They are creating change every day, and meeting needs that continue to increase. On May 28th, over 150 local nonprofits will engage the community to drive support for their critical work.

“We know the DMV is strong, and even stronger when we come together,” said Matt Gayer, Executive Director of Spur Local. “Give Greater DC is not just a day for raising funds. We want everyone to show up and use their voice to let nonprofits, and our whole region, know that people care.”

Residents can visit GiveGreaterDC.org to hear stories about what these organizations are doing in our communities right now, and to share their support. This May 28th, we ask that you celebrate our region, show up for each other, and give local.
