The Community Foundation of Fayette County (CFFC) is hosting the fourth annual Fayette Gives on November 9, 2023. Fayette Gives is a “day of giving” that supports local charities and engages the community in philanthropy, all in an effort to build a stronger Fayette. Ninety-two (92) charities are participating in Fayette Gives this year, and the public can donate now by check.
The main focus of Fayette Gives is the 12-hour fundraising marathon on November 9 from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. at www.fayettegives.org with online donations via credit card. Starting on September 7, donors can give early by check and other donation methods, to accommodate donors’ preferences. The minimum gift is $25 per charity.
To donate by check, donors can support one or more charities with one check payable to “CFFC” for their total Fayette Gives contribution amount, along with an official Check Contribution Form. The Check Contribution Form specifies the donor’s selected charities, donation amounts, and recognition preferences. (Click here to download the form.)
“All of the money raised through Fayette Gives will be used to benefit Fayette County. Thanks to the many generous people of Fayette County and beyond, a total of $1,315,892 has been raised through Fayette Gives in the first three years,” said Renee M. Couser, CFFC Executive Director.
