The Community Foundation of Fayette County (CFFC) is hosting the fourth annual Fayette Gives on Thursday, November 9, 2023 from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. at www.fayettegives.org. Fayette Gives is a “day of giving” that aims to build a stronger Fayette by engaging the community in philanthropy to support local charities. This fundraising marathon helps charities raise money and promote their work in the community. Charities that wish to participate must register at www.fayettegives.org starting June 1, 2023. The registration deadline is August 31, 2023 at 5:00 p.m.
On Fayette Gives day (November 9), the public will be encouraged to make online donations to the participating charities through the website, from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Charities can track their fundraising progress with leaderboards that display live results. Check donations will also be accepted, starting September 7.
As a special incentive, each Fayette Gives donation that is received at the CFFC office by 8 p.m. on November 9 will be boosted by a percentage of the bonus pool. This increases the impact of each generous gift.
Participating charities must be a 501(c)(3) organization, must file an annual 990 Form, and must serve Fayette County, PA. All money raised through Fayette Gives must be used to benefit Fayette County. Each charity must provide established services to the county and be in good standing as a public charity.
Charities must re-register each year. Charities will be notified by email when their registration is approved or if further information is needed to determine eligibility. CFFC will provide educational materials to help you run a successful fundraising campaign.
