Northwest Arkansas, it’s time to Get Off The Couch™.
On April 9, 2026, Sheep Dog Impact Assistance (SDIA) will participate in NWA Gives 2026, a 12-hour regional giving event that supports nonprofits serving our local community.
Early Giving begins April 2 at 8:00 AM.
And this year, we’re aiming higher than ever.
Why NWA Gives Matters for Sheep Dogs in NWA
Sheep Dog Impact Assistance serves military members, veterans, first responders, and their famillies across the country — but Northwest Arkansas is home.
Funds raised during NWA Gives directly support local participants in:
- Warrior PATHH – peer-to-peer Post-Traumatic Growth training hosted at Heroes Ranch
- Outdoor Adventures that reconnect Sheep Dogs through shared challenge and camaraderie
- Continued Service opportunities that help veterans and first responders serve again with purpose
When a Sheep Dog from NWA attends Warrior PATHH or an Outdoor Adventure, they attend at no cost to them. Community generosity makes that possible.
💥 The Power of a Matching Gift
Here’s where it gets exciting.
We are actively seeking Matching Gift Champions for NWA Gives 2026.
A matching gift:
- Doubles every donation
- Energizes donors
- Increases participation
- Multiplies impact in real time
When donors know their gift will be matched, they give more. And they give faster.
If you are a business leader, philanthropist, or corporate partner in NWA and want to amplify impact, we would love to connect.
