Spring2ACTion is Alexandria’s 24-hour call to ACTion to get online and give! Presented by ACT for Alexandria, Spring2ACTion is the area’s biggest fundraising event. April 10th is the day we come together to give - spreading generosity in the community where we live, work and play.
The power of this day is people. This day is made entirely possible because of people like you and me going online and supporting a cause that means something to us. Whether you are giving $10, $100, or $1,000, when we give together, it is powerful.
Spring2ACTion also gives us an opportunity to share our giving story. We’ve created a fun way for you to tell everyone who you support, causes you love and why you #Spring2ACTion. It is really easy!
Click here to print out your very own “I Spring2ACTion because…”. Write what you are passionate about and why you give. Snap a pic and post it with #Spring2ACTion. We can’t wait to see social media flooded with people sharing why they live and give generously.

In the business of giving back!
This year, Spring2ACTion is strategically engaging local businesses as official Spring2ACTion Business Fundraisers. Business Fundraisers are places of business dedicated to inspiring and engaging their employees and customers to give back to causes that are meaningful to them and spark a little friendly competition that will benefit the community.
Giving on Spring2ACTion.org is an easy and fun way for an entire company to give together while helping others. These generous businesses are Spring2ACTion’s first-ever Business Fundraisers. Round of applause, please!
- ALX Community Coworking
- Burke & Herbert Bank
- City of Alexandria
- Focus Data Solutions
- McEnearney Associates
- Penny Post
- Red Barn Mercantile
As you can see, employees from participating companies are sharing their passion for Spring2ACTion and doing good in Alexandria. On Spring2ACTion day – April 10, be sure to check out the Business Fundraiser pages and the Business leaderboard showing their giving totals and the generosity they are spreading!
We are starting with a small inaugural group to learn from and build something special. However, we look forward to expanding this effort in years to come. If your company is interested in participating as a future Business Fundraiser, contact Brandi.Yee@ACTforAlexandria.org.
