The seventh annual Fayette Gives will take place on November 5, 2026 and add to the $3.1 million that has been raised over the years. Nonprofits that wish to participate must register at fayettegives.org by September 1 at 5:00 p.m. The Community Foundation of Fayette County (CFFC) hosts Fayette Gives as a “day of giving” to support local nonprofits and engage the community in philanthropy – all in the effort of building a stronger Fayette County.
To participate, an organization must be a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, must serve Fayette County, and must file an annual Form 990. This year, nonprofits are required to attend one (1) of four (4) training sessions:
- July 14 at 3:00 p.m.
- July 29 at 9:00 a.m.
- August 6 at 9:00 a.m.
- August 11 at 3:00 p.m.
Each training session will cover the same content over the span of one (1) hour and will be held in-person at the CFFC office, located at 250 West Main Street, Uniontown, PA 15401. Nonprofits do not need to register for the training sessions, though attendance will be tracked to confirm participation eligibility.

“We’re excited to kick off this year’s Fayette Gives campaign and announce the special incentive that will encourage more donations from the public and help give nonprofits a fundraising boost,” said Jessica Hajek-Bates, CFFC Chief Executive Officer. “Nonprofits will receive a 10% match on eligible Fayette Gives donations, up to a maximum of $10,000.”
The 10% match on donations will be made through the generosity of the Fayette Gives 2026 sponsors. Contributions from sponsors serve as a one-time investment that will help all 100+ participating nonprofits. To learn more about sponsorship opportunities, call Lauren Shroyer at 724-437-8600 x110.
