Two Decades of Transformation
As we celebrate North Texas Giving Day through midnight on September 18th, we’re not just marking our biggest fundraising opportunity of the year—we’re celebrating an incredible milestone of transformation that spans two full decades.
The numbers tell a remarkable story of growth and discovery. Over these twenty years, we’ve identified more than 1,400 plants and species thriving in our restored prairie ecosystem. Our butterfly garden has become a vital sanctuary for countless monarch butterflies, providing them with the native habitat they desperately need during their epic migration journeys.
Perhaps most importantly, we’ve created something truly irreplaceable: an outdoor classroom that has opened the eyes of countless students from North Oak Cliff schools. Here, children don’t just learn about nature from textbooks—they experience it firsthand, discovering that they’re not separate from the natural world but an integral part of it.
Your Impact, Doubled—And Every Dollar Counts
This North Texas Giving Day presents an extraordinary opportunity to multiply your impact. Thanks to the generous commitment of our Twelve Hills board, every donation will be doubled up to $2,000. But the benefits don’t stop there.
North Texas Giving Day is more than just a fundraising event—it’s a powerful demonstration of our community’s collective commitment to the causes we care about most. For 24 hours, from now through midnight on September 18th, nonprofits across North Texas come together to show the incredible impact we can make when we unite around our shared values. It’s a celebration of generosity that strengthens not just individual organizations, but our entire region.
Even better, during North Texas Giving Day, all credit card processing fees are waived, meaning 100% of your donation goes directly to supporting our mission. Every single dollar you give works harder for the cause you’re passionate about.
With your support—doubled by our matching funds and delivered in full thanks to waived processing fees—we can reach more schools, bringing this transformative outdoor education experience to even more young minds. We can restore additional acres of native prairie, creating larger havens for wildlife and expanding our living laboratory. Most importantly, we can continue showing more children that they belong in nature, fostering the next generation of environmental stewards.
Planting Seeds for the Future
As we stand at this twenty-year milestone, we’re not just looking back at what we’ve accomplished—we’re looking forward to what’s possible. The prairie that began as one person’s dream has become a thriving ecosystem that benefits our entire community. The children who discover wonder in our outdoor classroom today will become tomorrow’s leaders, carrying with them a deep understanding of their connection to the natural world.
For this milestone North Texas Giving Day, we invite you to join thousands of your neighbors in supporting the causes that matter most to our community. Help us plant the seeds for the next twenty years of wonder by making your donation now through midnight on September 18th. Your gift—doubled by our matching funds and processed without fees—will ensure that this extraordinary place continues to grow, inspire, and transform lives for decades to come.
