Our community is better when we give together! Want to provide equitable opportunities for our children and youth to succeed? To enrich and support our lively art scene? To connect animals to a safe and loving forever home? To ensure the health of all Alexandrians so they can thrive in our city?
Spring2ACTion is our chance to do that together. It is one extraordinary day to celebrate the collective spirit of giving and to support the organizations that make Alexandria a vibrant place for everyone. On Wednesday, April 24, we are celebrating 14 years of Spring2ACTion. As we prepare for the big day, we wanted to capture some of the reasons that compel people to donate during this community-wide giving day.

Spring2ACTion is a catalyst for positive change beyond the day itself. By rallying support for local nonprofits, we amplify their voices and mobilize resources that enable them to expand their reach and impact. This ripple effect creates a legacy of giving that extends far beyond a single day, leaving a lasting imprint on our community for years to come.
