EXTRA HOUR GIVE
Celebrating 25 years of
the Alliance for Health Equity
Chester County’s first Day of Giving

What could
one more hour
make possible?

A community-wide celebration of generosity supporting organizations serving the Greater Coatesville community.

March 18, 7:00 PM — March 19, 8:00 PM, 2027
The idea behind Extra Hour Give

Imagine having one more hour in every day.

What more could you do with work, life, or play? We can’t give people more hours in their day. But we can connect our community with organizations working to remove barriers and support a more dignified, equitable life.

In celebration of the Alliance for Health Equity’s 25th anniversary, Extra Hour Give invites you to give a little extra to organizations directly or indirectly serving Coatesville.

01

Give 1%

Consider what one percent of your wealth could mean for a local nonprofit.

02

Give an hour

Volunteer one extra hour a month with an organization doing work you believe in.

03

Add one organization

Include another nonprofit in your charitable giving.

Why give extra?

More support helps sustain services and remove barriers.

Nonprofits and the people they serve face growing challenges as public resources are reduced. Imagine if every organization had one more funded hour per staff member—together, that support could help organizations grow their capacity to serve resource-depleted communities.

Extra Hour Give brings community members, donors, stakeholders, volunteers, supporters, and 50+ organizations together for an energetic celebration of giving.

Sponsorship opportunities
