Spring2ACTion 2026 Raises $3.4M for Alexandria Nonprofits
Celebrating its 16th anniversary, Alexandria’s Giving Day proves once again the power of collective action to raise critical funds to support our local nonprofit organizations and the community, organizers said Friday.
This year, Spring2ACTion brought together more than 7,000 donors to raise an impressive $3.4 million in support of 198 participating organizations, demonstrating the extraordinary generosity and commitment of the Alexandria community.
“Spring2ACTion is more than just a day of giving, it’s a powerful demonstration of what we can achieve when we come together as a neighbors helping neighbors,” said Heather Peeler, president and CEO of ACT for Alexandria.
“Alexandria is a special place. People choose to live and work here because it is a vibrant, diverse, and welcoming place. We have high-caliber and resourceful nonprofit organizations, along with generous and engaged residents, businesses, and faith communities,” Peeler added. “At ACT, we are committed to bringing people together to create a community where everyone feels a sense of belonging and where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.”
