The Giving Challenge starts at NOON! This annual day of giving occurs every two years and is a big event for the non-profit world. Thanks to the Patterson Foundation and the Community Foundation of Sarasota, all $25-100 donations made through the Giving Challenge website are doubled, meaning your gift goes twice as far!

There are so many incredible organizations doing great work locally and if you’re looking for recommendations on who to give to, throughout the day we’ll be highlighting some of our favorites, starting with Sunshine Community Harvest!

A newly formed non-profit resulting from the merger of Sunshine Community Compost and Community Harvest SRQ. Sunshine Community Harvest’s mission is to cultivate and advance a resilient, local food network that nourishes our community and planet. When you support Sunshine, you’re helping build a future where the local food network is not just functional, but regenerative, equitable, and community‑powered. Be The One to close the loop in food waste with Sunshine Community Harvest!
