What's the Deal with "Giving Day"?

The name stuck—but North Texas Giving Day has grown into something much bigger.

Giving is now open year-round at www.NorthTexasGivingDay.org/organization/netxcm. The annual Giving Day celebration simply gives us a special moment to come together and make a big collective impact.

For 2026, giving opens August 27 and culminates on Thursday, September 17.

So you don't have to wait until September 17 to help the Children's Museum. You can give starting August 27—and every eligible gift made through the North Texas Giving Day website during this campaign helps us unlock our $25,000 matching gift.
