Giving Tuesday e-mails may have stopped, but for dozens of smaller Arlington nonprofits, some of the most important giving is still happening through the 6th annual Nonprofit Holiday Wish Catalog.
Hosted by Arlington Community Foundation, the Wish Catalog gathers year-end “wishes” from over 70 Arlington-serving nonprofits into one online giving platform, each with a clear need and dollar goal. This year’s Wish Catalog runs through January 1, 2026 and focuses on smaller-budget Arlington organizations that rarely have big fundraising teams, but serve neighbors whose needs are constant.
So far this year, donors have given $134,758, fully funding 20 wishes and moving many others closer to the finish line, with every penny going directly to the nonprofits. Those gifts are keeping families fed and housed, opening doors to programs for kids and teens, providing counseling and support in grief or crisis, and helping older adults and returning citizens stay stable and connected.
Between now and January 1, a few extra gifts can be the difference between a wish staying on the page or turning into meals served, counseling sessions funded, or kids stepping into new opportunities. If you are planning one more act of generosity this year, make it local: visit arlcf.org/wish or click the button below, choose wishes that speak to you, and give what you can. Then share the link with your own circles so that one neighbor’s decision to give becomes many, and more Arlington wishes start 2026 already coming true.
