About Give Big Kern 2023
About Give Big Kern 2023
Every year on the first Tuesday in May, the Kern Community Foundation hosts Give Big Kern to help local nonprofit organizations raise money and volunteer hours. Give Big Kern allows the people of Kern County to show support for organizations that improve our region, raising dollars and volunteer hours for local nonprofits through online crowdfunding, matching gifts, and pledges. The collaborative effort helps Kern’s community-based organization raise unrestricted resources at no cost while growing their visibility, capacity, and sustainability.
Participants can raise money and collect volunteer pledges, while also competing for additional cash prizes courtesy of the Foundation's generous sponsors. Because it is an online effort, Give Big Kern is a safe way to fundraise.
A key component of the Foundation's Nonprofit Strengthening Initiative, Give Big Kern is the 2019, 2020, and 2022 winner of the Beautiful Bakersfield Award for helping to create "A Better Bakersfield."
Since its launch in 2016, Give Big Kern has raised millions of dollars from thousands of community members to benefit hundreds of hard-working local charities. This one-day of online giving offers the opportunity for everyone to support a cause they care about.
