Give Big Pittsburgh’s donation ticker climbed feverishly Tuesday morning as generous residents contributed to nearly 500 nonprofit organizations throughout the city, reaching $1 million before lunchtime.

In the 24-hour giving window, nearly 10,000 donors raised $3,000,462.87 to support incredible causes that benefit those in need, such as animal rescues, food insecurity programs and libraries and literacy programs.

“Many of us at the magazine watched the climbing donation numbers on the Give Big Pittsburgh website all day Tuesday with excitement and gratitude, It always warms our hearts to see how generous Pittsburgh is,” says Pittsburgh Magazine Vice President and Publisher Betsy Benson.

Pittsburgh Magazine has partnered with GiveGab, an online donation platform, since Give Big Pittsburgh’s inception in 2017, and the heartfelt contributions have continued to pour in the Tuesday after Thanksgiving each year. More than $14 million has been raised for Pittsburgh-based nonprofits since the start of the fundraising campaign.
