Long Beach Gives

Long Beach Gives is more than a day of giving—it is a community movement designed to strengthen the long-term sustainability of the nonprofit organizations that make our city thrive.

Nonprofits are essential to the health and vitality of Long Beach. They feed our neighbors, care for seniors, support youth, protect our environment, uplift the arts, and respond in moments of crisis. Yet many nonprofits rely heavily on foundation funding or short-term grants—resources that are competitive, limited, and often not sustainable over time.

Giving days like Long Beach Gives help change that.

By mobilizing local residents, businesses, and community leaders to give together, Long Beach Gives curates local support for local solutions. It helps nonprofits build diverse, dependable funding streams by growing individual donors—support that is flexible, renewable, and rooted in community trust. Even small gifts play a powerful role in helping organizations plan, adapt, and grow.

Sustainability is key to Long Beach’s future. When nonprofits are financially resilient, our city is stronger, more equitable, and better equipped to meet the needs of today and tomorrow. Long Beach Gives is designed to reduce reliance on any single funding source and instead foster a culture of year-round local philanthropy.

Most importantly, Long Beach Gives belongs to the community. It invites everyone—at every giving level—to take part in shaping the city we want to live in. Together, our collective action fuels hundreds of nonprofits across Long Beach and ensures that the organizations caring for our neighbors can continue doing so for years to come.
