About Give Local Bay 2026

Give Local Bay is a 24-hour online giving campaign to raise funds for favorite local charities. It unites our community in supporting our local nonprofits, agencies, and parks in Bay and Arenac counties. Your donations help these nonprofits build their endowment funds at Bay Area Community Foundation so that they are able to provide for many generations to come. Donate on May 6 and your gift will be increased by a match pool and incentive prizes thanks to our community sponsors! The more you help each nonprofit raise, the more match money they receive. We are better together!

On May 5, join us for the inaugural Boost Bash for Give Local Bay at the 1904 Room, located in the Pere Marquette Depot (1000 Adams St, Bay City, MI 48708) from 5:00 p.m. - 7:00 p.m. This event is all about building momentum for Give Local Bay and strengthening the Match Pool that directly benefits participating nonprofits. Proceeds from this exciting kickoff event will go toward growing the Give Local Bay Match Pool, which means more matching dollars to empower our nonprofit partners as they pursue their missions and serve our community. We can't wait to celebrate you! You must register to attend, and you can do so by visiting bayfoundation.org/glbboostbash.
