Taylor, Texas — The Greater Taylor Community Foundation (GTCF) announced today the launch of Give Taylor – Giving Tuesday 2026, a community-wide fundraising initiative designed to strengthen and elevate nonprofit agencies serving Taylor and the surrounding

region.

With a campaign goal of $100,000, Give Taylor is expanding its reach this year through new collaborations with local businesses, increasing visibility and impact for every participating organization. The campaign will culminate on Giving Tuesday, December 1, 2026, a global day of generosity that encourages individuals to support causes that strengthen their communities.

“Give Taylor is more than a fundraising event—it’s a unified movement to highlight the agencies who work every day to support families, youth, seniors, and community wellbeing,” said Diana Phillips, President of the Greater Taylor Community Foundation. “This year’s expanded business partnerships will amplify each agency’s mission and help drive greater collective impact.”

Eligibility Requirements for Nonprofits

To participate in the 2026 campaign, agencies serving Taylor must complete registration requirements by October 30, 2026. This deadline ensures adequate time to build individualized donation landing pages for each organization.

Participating agencies must:

● Provide agency information to Central Texas Community Foundation email with their logo, mission statement, primary contact, and promotional information for their landing page.

● Submit a $25 marketing materials fee payable to GTCF.

Agencies that do not provide the required materials by the deadline will not be eligible for this year’s campaign.

Community Impact

Funds raised through Give Taylor support a wide range of local nonprofits addressing critical needs—from food security and youth development to arts, education, and community health. The campaign’s collaborative model ensures that every participating

agency benefits from shared marketing, business partnerships, and community engagement.

How the Community Can Participate

Residents, businesses, and supporters can join the movement by:

● Donating directly to participating agencies on December 1, 2026

● Sharing Give Taylor content on social media

● Encouraging friends, family, and colleagues to give
