2026 GiveBIG Update

Jul 28
1 min read

Updated: Aug 3


GiveBig is the biggest organized statewide fundraiser for nonprofits. It’s been around since 2011 when it was established by the Seattle Foundation, and was taken over by 501 Commons in 2019. Books to Prisoners (BTP) has been a recipient of GiveBig funds since 2013. The concept – a month of concerted coordinated collective fundraising – is still valid.


GiveBig happened in May this year. Over the event period, 33 donors gave more than $4,900 to BTP through the GiveBig website. Additionally, several hundred dollars – likely inspired by the event – were donated via BTP’s year-round donation mechanism, the ‘donate’ button on our website. Thank you to all the generous donors that gave during GiveBig 2026. We deeply appreciate your support!
