More in Philanthropy
Day to day, that means fundraising galas and benefit events, large gifts to hospitals and schools, and business sponsorships of community causes. Coverage reaches across Tyler and into the communities around it wherever a giving story crosses the line. Donations from locally owned firms often get as much attention as the gifts from larger companies. Seasonal giving drives and the nonprofits that depend on them shape how the year's charitable activity unfolds.
