A message from The Community Foundation's CEO, Hal Cato

We started The Big Payback nine years ago with a goal of helping nonprofit organizations leverage the power of online giving to raise needed unrestricted funding. Since then, a whopping $29 million has been raised online from over 200,000 individuals. While we are incredibly proud of this event's success over the years, we also know that both best practices and fundraising technology have changed dramatically since we started in 2014.

This spring, The Community Foundation will be launching a comprehensive new strategic plan that includes evaluating the overall impact of our community-based programs like The Big Payback. Therefore, we have decided to postpone the 2023 event until we’ve heard from our community and been able to incorporate feedback that will guide its purpose and strategy in the future.

If you would like to be part of this important conversation about community-wide giving events, please let us know by contacting us at thebigpayback@cfmt.org . Thank you again for the difference you make every single day. We look forward to collaborating with you in the future.
