What is the Big Day of Giving? Each year, dozens of local non-profit organizations team up to have a BIG day (24 hours) where we all ask our communities to support the organizations that give to our community. Overall, the Big Day of Giving has collected thousands of dollars throughout the greater Sacramento area for our local non-profit organizations. Click Here to go to our Big Day of Giving page.
When is the Big Day of Giving? It will be on May 1, 2025, starting at one minute after midnight on the 30th of April and running to midnight on the 1st of May. 24 hours where you can easily log in and give to your favorite non-profits.

Why should you give; what do we do with the funds raised by this fundraiser? We support the people in our community, especially girls and women. Here are some examples:
- Dream It, Be It — Career support for girls in secondary school who face obstacles to their future success. This program provides girls with access to professional role models, career education and the resources to live their dreams.
- Live Your Dream Award — The other Dream program and our club’s major project, this program assists women by giving them the resources they need to improve their education, skills and job prospects.
- Teen Dating Violence Project — Teenagers are especially vulnerable to dating violence because they don’t always have a clear understanding of healthy vs. unhealthy relationships. To raise awareness among teenagers about teen dating violence, Soroptimist International of Elk Grove created the Soroptimist Teen Dating Violence Bookmark and other resources.
- Scholarships — We provide a scholarship for two female high school seniors through the Elk Grove Regional Scholarship Foundation. One is for a foster girl.
