Show Up for OlyCAP at GiveBIG

GiveBIG Washington runs all day on Tuesday, May 5. Our goal: 20 unique donors backing housing, energy, and early-childhood services across Jefferson and Clallam Counties.

OlyCAP is participating in GiveBIG Washington 2026 — the statewide annual giving day for nonprofits — and it's up to us to make sure our community shows up for the work that matters here.

What is GiveBIG?

GiveBIG is a 48-hour online giving campaign organized by 501 Commons that brings thousands of Washington nonprofits together for a single statewide moment of generosity. Early giving is open now, and the main event runs all day on Tuesday, May 5. Every donation made during this window is part of a wave of community support that funders watch closely.

Why this matters for OlyCAP

For Olympic Community Action Partnership, GiveBIG is more than a single day of fundraising. The number of unique donors we receive on May 5 strengthens our grant applications throughout the year, demonstrates broad community backing, and helps fund the programs that serve our neighbors in Jefferson and Clallam Counties:

  • Housing Services — rent assistance, supportive housing, eviction prevention
  • Home & Energy Resources — LIHEAP energy assistance and Weatherization
  • Senior Services — including the Encore! program for connection and support
  • Early Childhood Education — programs that give every kid a strong start
  • Youth Services — mentoring, activities, and safe community spaces
  • Community Resources — the Tri-Area, Quilcene, and Brinnon Community Centers
$5,000

A $10 gift counts the same as $1,000 toward that donor count. Being one of the names on the list signals to our funders that this work has community backing.

“It's up to us to make sure our community shows up for the work that matters here.”
