“Many nonprofits were forced to cancel their 2020 fundraising events. The nonprofit organizations that participated in Fayette Gives were able to encourage donations through a new outlet, with safe and convenient check and online options. Thank you to everyone who supported this community-wide effort and made it possible for $292,423 to be distributed to local nonprofits, which will help strengthen Fayette County.” – Daniel Gearing, CFFC 2020 Board Chair.
Special thanks to the generous sponsors who supported the Bonus Pool.
