The Park County Community Foundation (PCCF) announces another successful conclusion of Give A Hoot 2026, the annual community giving campaign that continues to highlight the generosity of Park County residents.
This year’s campaign has inspired over $3.6 million in donations to 104 local nonprofit organizations, with contributions coming from more than 5,500 individual donations. These totals include the incredible support from our Matching Pool sponsors and supporters, whose leadership gifts helped amplify the impact of every dollar given.
While the last postmarked donations are still arriving and detailed accounting continues, this year’s campaign has already set several new records since PCCF launched this effort in 2019:
The greatest number of individual donations
The highest total dollars gifted by the community
The most participating nonprofit organizations
During eight years of this campaign, Give A Hoot has inspired over $17 million in giving to the community from more than 30,000 donations to over 120 nonprofit organizations.
“We are once again completely overwhelmed by the love and generosity this community shows year after year during Give A Hoot,” said Keva Ward, PCCF program manager. “Your support is game changing for our local nonprofits in their work to tackle some of Park County’s most difficult issues. To our generous donors, THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts!”
