Supporting Local Nonprofits During #GivingTuesdayFW
The Community Foundation of Greater Fort Wayne is excited to announce its 7th annual #GivingTuesdayFW Challenge, inviting community members to support local nonprofits as they raise funds to grow their endowments and secure their futures.
From November 1 to November 20, the Foundation challenges all nonprofits with endowment funds at the Foundation to raise as much as possible. To amplify these efforts, the Community Foundation will match all donations to eligible endowment funds with a 20% match (up to $10,000 per eligible fund), providing a significant boost to these critical organizations.
The top-raising organizations in each of the five pillars of the Let’s Rise! Vision Plan— Connected Community, Inspiring Places, Everyone’s Economy, Lifelong Learning and Healthy Mind & Body —will receive a surprise unrestricted gift on #GivingTuesday, December 3.
A Growing Impact
Over the past several years, our Giving Tuesday campaign along with our Gifts from the Heart brochure, has collectively raised about $2.17M in contributions for 109 agency endowments. By participating in this campaign, community members can help their favorite organizations enhance long-term sustainability and make a lasting impact on our community.
How You Can Participate
All gifts to eligible endowment funds will receive a 20% match (up to $10,000 per eligible fund) from the Community Foundation. This means your generosity will go even further, ensuring a more secure future for these nonprofits.
Additionally, from November 1-20, the top-raising organizations from our five Let’s Rise! Vision plan pillars will receive a special, unrestricted gift on #GivingTuesday, December 3, from the Community Foundation.
To donate, visit the Community Foundation’s website and search for the organization you’d like to support. Every contribution, no matter the size, helps these organizations continue to serve our community for generations to come.
Let’s Rise Together!
Join us in celebrating #GivingTuesday, on December 3, 2024 when we’ll announce the top-raising organizations from each of the five Let’s Rise! pillars and present them with a surprise unrestricted gift.
