FLX Gives

An annual day of giving for the Southern Finger Lakes

FLX Gives is a 24-hour online celebration of the Finger Lakes region. It connects generous community members with the causes they care most about. It is a day to celebrate all that the Finger Lakes are and the critical role nonprofits play in making our community great.

FLX Gives helps build awareness and support for nonprofits like nothing else. In 2024, $258,942 was raised from 2,405 donors benefiting 101 local nonprofits.

Raise awareness for nonprofits all across our community during FLX Gives.
