Give For Good 2026

North Louisiana’s largest day of philanthropy, Give For Good, returns on Tuesday, May 5, 2026. Powered by Community Foundation of North Louisiana (CFNLA), Give For Good is an online day of giving that has raised nearly $25 million in critical unrestricted funding for participating local nonprofits since 2014.

This year, nearly 250 organizations are participating in Give For Good, following last year, wherein more than 4,300 community donors raised $2.53 million for local nonprofits. In 2026, CFNLA is challenging the community to raise $2.8 million in donations!

CFNLA hosts Give For Good as part of its mission to increase local philanthropy and enhance the quality of life in North Louisiana. Give For Good’s online platform provides each nonprofit with a customized giving page where the organization can share its mission, programs, needs, and volunteer opportunities. Donors can easily browse, search, and filter participating organizations by sector or location, much like an online shopping experience.

During checkout, donors can also contribute to the Lagniappe Fund, a bonus pool of over $260,000 that boosts donations made to participating nonprofits on a pro-rata basis. Participating nonprofits are also eligible to win special Give For Good prizes throughout the giving event.

With a minimum donation amount of only $10, Give For Good empowers everyone to be a philanthropist. All donations are 100% tax deductible, and there is no fee for nonprofits to participate in Give For Good. CFNLA receives no proceeds from the event.

“We are proud to sponsor Give For Good in our community for the 13th year,” says CFNLA CEO Kristi Gustavson. “Give For Good day is always exciting and energizing as we watch the donation total grow and hear from our local nonprofit organizations about the programs and the people who will benefit from this community support. Every year, I am amazed at and humbled by the generosity and civic spirit illustrated through Give For Good.”

Generous community sponsors help make Give For Good possible. CFNLA thanks our 2026 sponsors: Greg Teeters Endowed Fund, AEP SWEPCO Foundation; Lamar Outdoor Advertising; Amazon; Blue Cross Blue Shield Louisiana (Louisiana Blue); Powers Foundation; HiTech; Heard, McElroy & Vestal LLC; Frymaster; Ochsner LSU Health Shreveport; Poljak Group Wealth Management at Steward Partners; Cook, Yancey, King & Galloway; Graf Orthodontics; Kean Miller; Brookshire’s Grocery Co; and Pettiette, Armand, Dunkelman, Woodley & Cromwell LLP.

On May 5, many local businesses will host events for their favorite nonprofits and donate a portion of the day’s sales. In addition to donating, we encourage everyone to be a part of the excitement by finding an event to attend at giveforgoodnla.org/opportunities.

Give For Good Day is May 5, but giveforgoodnla.org opens April 21 for early giving. CFNLA invites our entire community to join us as partners in philanthropy this year as we work to raise $2.8 million to support our amazing participating nonprofits through Give For Good!
