Make a Difference in our Community with Giving

We are fortunate to have so many nonprofits focused on serving individuals in need – from food and housing to transportation, health, education, job training and more.

Many nonprofit organizations serve Denton County – from Giving Grace, which helps house families who are homeless or at risk of homelessness, to WTF-Winning the Fight, a group that provides drug education, support, and guidance to individuals and families who struggle with the disease of addiction.

In Denton County, several years ago we launched FindHelp Denton County at FindHelp.DentonCounty.gov — an easy way to find aid online by zip code. For example, using 76208 – a zip code in northern Denton – an estimated 2,989 entities were listed as possible sources of support.

But these nonprofits also require our assistance. As we continue to grow by 90 people daily in a fast-growing county with more than 1,068,355 residents as of January 1, 2025, the need is outpacing available funds.  

On Sept. 18, Communities Foundation of Texas held North Texas Giving Day, the largest regional giving initiative in the U.S. Since 2009, over $635 million has been raised for more than 3,000 local nonprofit organizations through the online giving site. In 2024, more than $70 million was collected for over 3,200 nonprofits.

These nonprofits are always in need, so if you missed North Texas Giving Day, you can still help. Check out NorthTexasGivingDay.org and search Denton County to see a list of nonprofits. 

Let’s all do our part to help local nonprofits meet the increasing needs of Denton County residents and those in surrounding areas.
