GIVING TUESDAY

Thank you to everyone who donated on Giving Tuesday! We raised $24,000, which has doubled to $48,000!

There is still time to have your dollars doubled!

Thanks to a generous family, every dollar donated between December 1st - December 31st, 2024, will be matched up to $50,000, and we have $26,000 available! Please consider making a donation that will help make the whole year merrier and brighter in McHenry County. One donation – doubled – that increases community resilience for all. 

Giving Tuesday is a global movement that inspires millions to give, collaborate, and celebrate generosity. Held annually on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving, it’s a day when communities come together to support the causes they care about most.

Since its start in 2012, Giving Tuesday has fueled extraordinary generosity, raising billions of dollars for nonprofits worldwide. By joining this movement, you can create meaningful change right here in our community—helping provide vital programs that impact 1 in 4 people and build a healthier, stronger, and more resilient future for all.

Today, your gift can go farther than ever before. Thanks to an anonymous donor, the donations we receive today will be doubled up to $50,000! With your support, the United Way of Greater McHenry County is making a difference in the lives of 1 in 4 people in our community through programs that:

  • Build healthy communities,
  • Foster resilient neighborhoods,
  • Create opportunities for youth and
  • Strengthen financial security for families.

As needs grow, so does the urgency to act. Your generosity helps keep these vital programs running, providing stability and hope to those who need it most. Every dollar you give today makes a real difference—ensuring no one in our community is left behind.

Let’s make this Giving Tuesday count!
