ExtraGive is a day for all of us. It is a reflection of our collective compassion and a glimpse into a future we can build together. It’s a celebration of everything that makes Lancaster County special and a commitment to the generations to come. That’s why this year, ExtraGive’s focus is on you, the donors. Whether you can give $10 or $10,000, your gift will be stretched for the causes you care about. Through the ExtraGive, this community has proven time and again that when we come together, we can do extraordinary things.
ExtraGive is a day to support the causes you care about.
How it works:
- On November 18, visit ExtraGive.org from any digital device.
- Visit the pages of more than 400 participating organizations to learn how their work impacts Lancaster County.
- Make an online donation to organizations that are important to you (at a minimum of $10) and every dollar donated will be stretched.
- Each organization will receive a percentage of the half million dollar Stretch Pool. Stretch Pool dollars will be distributed based on the number of unique donors to each organization. This means that if an organization’s unique donor count is 3% of all unique donors across the organizations participating in the ExtraGive, then that organization will receive 3% of the Stretch Pool. Every donation, no matter its size, has the power to impact the causes you care about in a big way!

Thirsty? Time to Pony UP!
