What is North State Giving Tuesday?
Hosted by Community Foundation of the North State, North State Giving Tuesday (NSGT) is a powerful 14-hour online giving movement that brings together non-profits across Shasta, Siskiyou, Tehama, Trinity, and Modoc counties for one united day of community impact.
Instead of making a standard donation, giving through NSGT amplifies every dollar you contribute. Your single gift helps Siskiyou Humane Society unlock bonus matching pools, hourly cash prizes, and shared regional stretch funds—allowing us to care for more shelter pets in need.
1 Big Regional Movement
NSGT brings together over 200 non-profits across 5 North State counties for one powerful day. Donating through NSGT elevates visibility for local animals while helping us unlock extra regional stretch funds and hourly cash matches.
The $15,000+ Stretch Pool
The Stretch Pool balance starts with $15,000 funded by Community Foundation of the North State and grows as donors add optional $10 or $20 contributions at checkout. This pool is shared proportionally among participating charities to stretch every gift further!
Power Hours: 11 AM • 3 PM • 7 PM
Across the three designated Power Hours, a total $15,000 regional match pool is set aside and up for grabs!

Evening Power Hour
How it works: At the end of each Power Hour, the amount raised by Siskiyou Humane Society is calculated against total regional gifts raised in that hour to determine our percentage. That percentage is applied directly to the $15,000 match pool to award SHS extra cash! Larger gifts and matching donors make a huge difference in helping us claim a bigger slice of the pool!
