The North State community gave generously Tuesday by contributing $758,041 to local nonprofits through Shasta Regional Community Foundation‘s charitable event.

Held for the second year in a row, North State Giving Tuesday organized through the community foundation is meant to be a one-stop giving destination, allowing nonprofits to receive money from community donors online. This year like last, the foundation surpassed its goal.

“We’re blown away,” said Kerry Caranci, chief executive officer of the Shasta Regional Community Foundation. She said she hit the “refresh” button every couple of minutes on the website to see the numbers increase.

And while more money did roll in, and more organizations participated this time around, Caranci said the foundation makes it a point to teach local nonprofits about fundraising on their own and build each organization’s capacity to do so. It’s also a way to expose the community to giving to some of the charitable organizations that are in their back yard.

Each of the participating organizations will get an additional amount of money through the community foundation’s incentive pool as well, which totaled to about $95,000.
