Since 2009, the Community Foundation of Fayette County has been committed to creating funds that help Fayette County to meet the challenges of changing times; to connecting donors with the needs of the community to support area non-profit organizations; and, to meeting the charitable needs of all county residents.
Now, just in time for end of year giving, CFFC will help their donors build and grow funds with $100,000 in match money available. CFFC will match up to $7,500 to create a new fund or make a gift to an existing fund. For example, a minimum gift of $7,500 to create a permanent fund will be matched by CFFC with $2,500. The maximum gift of $22,500 will be matched by CFFC with $7,500.
