RCCF to Host Annual Day of Giving

The Board of Directors has made $75,000 available to match donations made on the Day of Giving.

(Ripley County, Ind.) - The Ripley County Community Foundation is hosting its ninth annual Day of Giving on Friday, November 3, 2023. Citizens of Ripley County are encouraged to Give Where you Live and Support the Future of your Community or Favorite Charity between the hours of 8:00AM and 4:00PM. This is the perfect time to donate to the Ripley County Community Foundation because donations to endowed funds will be eligible to receive a 50 percent match, not to exceed $5,000 per fund. Matching funds may be placed into the endowed fund of the donor’s choice and will be committed on a first come, first served basis. Your gift can be made in honor of, or in the memory of a family member or a friend, leave a legacy, or pay-it-forward in support of your favorite cause or nonprofit organization.

The Board of Directors has made $75,000 available to match donations made on the Day of Giving. “Offering the match is just one way the Board of Directors is able to express their appreciation for its donors and the organizations dedicated to creating a brighter future in Ripley County,” stated Amy Streator, Executive Director of the Ripley County Community Foundation.
