Erie Gives is a celebration of generosity that brings our entire community together.

Thousands of donors rally behind the nonprofits that make Erie County stronger. Since its launch in 2011, Erie Gives has generated more than $77.7 million for local causes, demonstrating the incredible impact we can make through the power of collective giving.

Supporting your favorite nonprofits is easy. Whether you choose to give online, by check, through your IRA, or with appreciated stock, there are multiple ways to participate and make a difference.

Every gift—large or small—helps participating nonprofits continue their important work today while strengthening the future of our community. Together, we are investing in a stronger Erie County for generations to come.

And...online giving is FREE again in 2026.  All credit card and transaction fees will be covered by our generous community partners, meaning 100% of your donation goes to support the nonprofit(s) and causes you care about most!
