#GivingTuesday is a global day of giving that harnesses the collective power of individuals, communities, and organizations to encourage philanthropy and to celebrate generosity worldwide. Following Thanksgiving and the widely recognized shopping events Black Friday and Cyber Monday, this year’s #GivingTuesday will take place on November 27th and will kick off the giving season by inspiring people to collaborate and give back.
On this day, The Van Wert County Foundation celebrates giving by matching donations made to VWCF Charitable Organization Endowment Funds on #GivingTuesday, the match will be up to $10,000 per fund.
On #GivingTuesday (November 27, 2018, only ) individuals and businesses have the opportunity to donate to one or multiple VWCF Charitable Organization Endowment Funds, essentially doubling your gift with the match of The Foundation. A Charitable Organization Fund is established by a charitable organization to provide support for the agency’s exempt purposes. The original gifted amount (principal) is permanently preserved. Income generated from your gift benefits the organization now and into the future.
The following funds are open for donation with VWCF match for the #GivingTuesday initiative:
- Cross Over the Hill Endowment Fund
