For the 2021-2022 holiday season, The Patterson Foundation is strengthening Season of Sharing with contributions of $100,000 each time the community raises $500,000 from now through Jan. 31, 2022 — with no cap on the number of $100,000 contributions donors can activate throughout the campaign. These additional $100,000 contributions provide generous givers in our region another incentive to join the community movement of neighbors helping neighbors regain their stability following an unforeseen crisis.

Season of Sharing has raised more than $30 million since 2000, when the Herald-Tribune Media Group and the Community Foundation of Sarasota County created the annual campaign. The Patterson Foundation has contributed more than $6 million total in donor incentives since joining Season of Sharing's network of philanthropic partners in 2010.
