The national day for giving has ended.
Over 150 organizations participated in this year’s event. Impactful dollars and awareness has been made for important causes in the Concho Valley.
The San Angelo Area Foundation (SAAF) received the funds designated for the organizations. They will grant those funds back to those causes as unrestricted grants.
“We raised 1.4 hundred and $45 million [$1,445,549] for causes in our community, which our goal was $1.5 and last year we raised a million,” Janet Karcher, SAAF’s VP of Marketing, said.
SAAF says everything went smooth and no one was a victim of a scam.
