The sixth annual Fayette Gives “day of giving” will take place on November 6, 2025 from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. During this fundraising marathon, participating charities receive donations from the public to support their services in Fayette County. Charities that wish to participate must register online at www.fayettegives.org by August 29.
To participate, charities must be a 501c3 nonprofit, must not be a private foundation, must be located in or providing services in Fayette County, and must file an annual 990.
Fayette Gives is hosted by the Community Foundation of Fayette County (CFFC) in an effort to build a stronger Fayette County by supporting local charities and engaging the community in philanthropy. In its first five years, Fayette Gives has raised over $2.5 million for more than one hundred (100) Fayette County charities.
“This is a one-stop-shop for charitable giving. We want to make it easy for everyone to give back and support the good work of our amazing Fayette County charities,” said Renee M. Couser, CFFC Executive Director.
Each participating charity will have a profile on the website, where the public can learn more about their mission and how they impact the community. Starting in early September (exact date TBD), CFFC will accept check donations, IRA contributions, and donor advised fund donations. Online donations will be available for a 12-hour period on November 6 between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. at www.fayettegives.org. Cash prizes will be awarded each hour during Fayette Gives day, to incentivize donations and boost fundraising.
“Fayette Gives offers a tremendous opportunity for nonprofits, businesses, and individuals to see a more complete picture of the amazing services that are available to Fayette County,” said Paula Millsaps, Founding Director/President of Joel 2 Missions.
“Fayette Gives provides us with non-restricted funding that we can use on anything we need for our initiatives in the County,” said Laurel Ross, Planner/Grant Writer of Private Industry Council of Westmoreland/Fayette.
