About Shore Gives 365

Shore Gives 365 is a year-round giving platform and visibility hub designed to support and strengthen nonprofits across the Lower Eastern Shore. Powered by the Community Foundation of the Eastern Shore (CFES), Shore Gives 365 builds on the decade-long success of the Shore Gives More Giving Tuesday campaign — expanding from a single day of giving to a continuous opportunity for community impact.

A New Approach to Giving
We know that the needs of local nonprofits don’t always follow a calendar. That’s why Shore Gives 365 was created — to offer greater flexibility, expanded visibility, and meaningful donor engagement all year long. Whether it’s a time-sensitive project, a match challenge, or an unexpected opportunity, Shore Gives 365 helps nonprofits connect with supporters when it matters most.

Supporting Nonprofit Success — 365 Days a Year
Shore Gives 365 is designed to help nonprofits deepen their connections with donors, grow their fundraising capacity, and reach new supporters across the region. Join us in shaping a stronger, more connected community — every day of the year.
