Have you heard the phrase “give where you live”?
That’s what Fayette Gives is all about!

Fayette Gives is a 12-hour fundraising marathon, hosted by the Community Foundation of Fayette County (CFFC), that is all about the phrase “give where you live.” This year’s giving day will take place on November 7, 2024 from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. at www.fayettegives.org. CFFC encourages all interested charities to attend the “Getting Ready” webinar on June 12 from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m.

This live webinar will be an online-only training presented by GiveGab, the company that manages the platform for Fayette Gives. Fayette Gives 2024 will have a new look, due to a switch in platform and new features for charity tracking and donor engagement. The foundation believes it is crucial for charities to attend the June 12 training to learn about new features and prepare for a successful Fayette Gives campaign.

Charities must register for the June 12 training on the “Trainings” page at www.fayettegives.org. Click here for the direct link.

Each charity that registers for the “Getting Ready” webinar and (virtually) attends will be awarded a $50 prize to add to their Fayette Gives fundraising. There is a limit of one prize per charity, and prizes will only apply to charities who are approved to participate in Fayette Gives at the registration cut-off date of August 30, 2024. Please contact Rebecca Wardle, Communications & Grantmaking Coordinator, at 724-437-8600 x203 with any questions.

During Fayette Gives, the public donates to participating charities to support their mission and services in Fayette County. Everyone can track live results and leaderboards throughout the “day of giving”, and donors can help their favorite charities win cash prizes to boost their fundraising.

In the first four years of Fayette Gives, the community has raised over $2 million for Fayette County charities.

“We are grateful to everyone who has joined this community-wide effort to build a stronger Fayette, and we’re excited to raise the bar for this year’s Fayette Gives!” said Renee M. Couser, CFFC Executive Director.
