Blacksburg: The Community Foundation of the New River Valley (CFNRV) is ecstatic to announce that for the first time in its 13-year history, the GiveLocalNRV Giving Day surpassed $1 million raised for our community.

Event host, the CFNRV, invites nonprofits serving the New River Valley to participate in the Annual GiveLocalNRV Giving Day in June. Each organization creates a unique webpage at givelocalnrv.org to share their story and raise money for their mission. With 2026’s record-breaking year, nonprofits have raised more than $6.15 million with GiveLocalNRV since 2014.

“This is a huge milestone for our community, made possible by the 3,386 donors who gave to 131 nonprofits this year,” said Jessica Wirgau, CFNRV’s Chief Executive Officer. “We are simply blown away by everyone’s generosity, and by the creativity and enthusiasm nonprofits bring to this event.”

Fueling the excitement of each GiveLocalNRV Giving Day are incentive grants and prizes that the CFNRV awards through the generous support of corporate sponsors. More information is available on the prize standings page. The CFNRV is finalizing award winners, which will be announced later today.
