The Big Give San Antonio is an annual event to raise public awareness of the value of supporting local nonprofits. It also prompts nonprofit organizations to communicate with their constituents and share news about how they are making a difference in our community. This year’s Big Give is a little different. In March, the Nonprofit Council held an online emergency drive for COVID-19 relief. A more familiar Big Give—a 24-hour online giving event—is happening on September 10, 2020. For more information, look at Big Give FAQ.
