Starke County Community Foundation Giving Tuesday

Turn a $1,500 gift into a $5,000 legacy!

This Giving Tuesday, we’re making it easier than ever to create a permanent charitable legacy. With Foundation support and matching funds, your $1,500 gift can establish a fully endowed $5,000 Community Fund that will support our community for generations to come.

Based on the Foundation’s current projection assumptions, a $5,000 endowed fund could distribute over $6,100 in cumulative grants over its first 25 years, and remains a permanent resource positioned to continue supporting Starke County forever.

Triple your gift and multiply your impact!

For a limited time, qualifying gifts to a new or existing Starke County Community Fund are eligible for a $2-for-$1 match. That means a $25 gift can become $75, $100 can become $300, and $500 can become $1,500 for Starke County.

Community Funds are unrestricted endowments that give the Starke County Community Foundation the flexibility to respond to changing needs, support local nonprofits, and invest in opportunities throughout our community. Your gift becomes part of a permanent charitable resource created for Starke County.

The Starke County Community Fund is our general community fund and a simple way to support Starke County’s changing needs and opportunities. Gifts of any size become part of a permanent charitable resource that supports local grantmaking over time.

Double your gift to the Starke County Youth Club!

There’s another way to make your Giving Tuesday gift go further! Qualifying gifts to the SC Youth Club 1 to 1 Match Fund will receive a $1-for-$1 match. That means your $25 gift becomes $50, $100 becomes $200, and $500 becomes $1,000 in support of the Starke County Youth Club’s Early Learning Initiative. The campaign will help address the shortage of accessible, high-quality childcare in Starke County by supporting the youth club’s licensed daycare program serving three- and four-year-old children.

Have another fund in mind?

The community fund and SCYC matching opportunities aren’t the only way to give on Giving Tuesday. You may make a gift to any other fund that’s meaningful to you. Support a favorite cause, organization, scholarship or other charitable fund and make your Giving Tuesday gift in the way that matters most to you.

Please note: Gifts to other funds do not receive a match.
