ArchivesDonations Go Further With The Panhandle GivesDonations Go Further With The Panhandle GivesThe Panhandle Gives is an annual fundraising event hosted and coordinated by the Amarillo Area Foundation (AAF). It begins on the Monday before Thanksgiving and ends on the global day of giving known as Giving Tuesday. This year, that’s Nov. 20 – 28, 2023. Seven Dalhart agencies qualified to participate in this year’s event. They include Brick Street Community Center, CareNet, CASA 69, Dallam Hartley Counties Healthcare Foundation, Good Samaritan, LaRita Theatre and XIT Museum. Altogether, the nonprofit organizations have a total 2023 goal of $578,000. With $114,000 already pledged or pending, the remaining balance is $464,000. Each participating group keeps one hundred percent of all donations raised during the designated time period. In addition, each agency that raises at least $250 during the campaign receives a percentage match of the total amount of the Amplification Fund. This is money given from foundations, corporate sponsors and individual donors and was established by AAF to amplify the amount of money participating organizations receive during the campaign. The Panhandle Gives is a focused effort of the AAF to support, empower and encourage collaboration among nonprofits across the 26 counties of the Texas Panhandle. In 2022, the total amount raised was $8,892,377.
