Fayette Gives is still ON!
Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, nonprofits have stayed dedicated to their mission and have continued to serve residents to the best of their ability. The importance of nonprofit services is always highlighted in times of need, and the Community Foundation of Fayette County (CFFC) is excited to provide an opportunity for the community to give back through Fayette Gives!
Fayette Gives will take place on Thursday, November 12, 2020
Fayette Gives is a community-wide “day of giving” with the goal of building a stronger Fayette by supporting the local nonprofit sector and engaging the community in philanthropy. Each donation made during Fayette Gives will be enhanced by a prorated percentage of the bonus pool.
