As an extra incentive, cash prizes will be awarded hourly during the “day of giving”.

This is the fifth year that the Community Foundation of Fayette County (CFFC) is hosting Fayette Gives. The event supports Fayette County charities and highlights the power of philanthropy. Prizes are a new feature for Fayette Gives 2024, taking the place of the previous years’ bonus pool.

“Between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. on November 7th, one or more prizes will be awarded hourly. Each prize has its own criteria, so there is a variety of opportunities for charities to win prize money throughout the day,” said Renee M. Couser, CFFC Executive Director.

Prizes are listed at www.fayettegives.org. Some prizes will be awarded to charities that raise the most money or have the most donors within a specific hour, and other prizes will be awarded to a randomly selected charity that receives a donation within a specific hour. Prize winners will be listed on the Fayette Gives website each hour, and some prizes will have three winners – one in each size category of small, medium, and large.

“We’re grateful to the sponsors who make these extra dollars possible for the charities!” said Couser.
