Coverage takes in large gifts to local institutions, community fundraisers and benefit events, nonprofit donation campaigns, and donated goods that support schools and youth leagues. Reporting reaches across the city and into the surrounding communities wherever a giving story crosses the line. Small community fundraisers generate as many stories as the major gifts do. Holiday seasons and disaster recovery periods tend to bring the largest bursts of generosity.
