Long Beach Gives

Long Beach Gives is the citywide, online fundraising campaign to raise awareness and inspire community giving for Long Beach nonprofits.

Our goal is to inspire individuals and businesses in our community to come together to make a difference in the exemplary work of local nonprofits. With over 300 nonprofit organizations participating in Long Beach Gives in the first six years, our community has had an incredible opportunity to make a huge difference!

Our participating nonprofits represent 16 unique cause categories - from animals to social services and everything between. You can learn more about the incredible work being done by nonprofits by using the search bar at the top of your page or by selecting one of the 16 causes below. Each one of the 300+ nonprofits that has participated since 2019 is making an impact right here in Long Beach - find your cause today to amplify nonprofits' impact in our city.

Long Beach Gives will return in 2025!

In 2024, individuals and businesses donated a record $2,120,279 to support the work of 270 local nonprofits.

More than one-third of the 9,310 donations received during Long Beach Gives were first-time gifts to the organizations that received them, and 964 community volunteers raised $420k for local nonprofits.

Mayor Rex Richardson said it perfectly : "Over the past four years, Long Beach Gives has allowed the people of Long Beach to make a collective impact across the city. This September, in our fifth year, we can make a meaningful difference by working together and uplifting people in every community."

Find Your Cause!

Nonprofits shelter, feed, clothe, advocate for justice and equity, and keep our communities healthy and safe. They provide Long Beach with endless cultural opportunities, find homes for abandoned animals, and fight against climate change. They provide support for military families and veterans. They help individuals with disabilities find and retain employment. They care for our elderly citizens and educate our young, future leaders. They strengthen the economy, and they bring hope to our communities. Let's celebrate them during Long Beach Gives.
