What is Giving Week?

Giving Week is an annual community fundraising event hosted by the Mount Dora Community Trust, a longtime partner of Habitat Lake-Sumter. During this special week, local nonprofits like ours compete for matching funds from MDCT, giving donors the chance to double their impact in our community during the holiday season.

Giving Week takes place around Giving Tuesday, a global initiative that encourages people and organizations to give back and make a difference in their communities. It’s a wonderful way to kick off the season of giving and support meaningful local work.

Be sure to check our Facebook page daily during Giving Week to see how you can participate — every donation counts and truly makes a difference.
