Giving Day by the Numbers: A Global Community in Action
We would like to thank everyone who has generously supported IONS for Giving Day. Timed with the Summer Solstice on June 20, Giving Day was a high-impact, virtual gathering that featured inspirational insights and discussions from IONS leaders. We received gifts in May and June from 1,588 total donors, raising $417,390 total, with contributions coming from 49 states and 31 countries. This global participation shows the far-reaching impact of our community. We are especially excited to welcome 241 first-time donors, whose new energy adds to the collective momentum.
Your support is more than a donation—it is a message. A message that you believe in our shared humanity, in a future worth building, and in the unseen possibilities IONS has been exploring for over 50 years. Whether you’re a long-time member, donated for the first time for Giving Day, or simply introduced a friend to IONS, your contribution magnifies the collective energy that makes transformation possible.
