GIVE 4 CUSTER COUNTY was a fundraising campaign to grow philanthropy and inspire communities to come together to support the work of nonprofits in Custer County. Twenty-nine nonprofit organizations signed up to participate and held their own fundraisers. The participating nonprofits and donors really came together and raised an impressive amount of money in such a short time. Donations were accepted June 15 through June 30th.
The Custer County Foundation will provide $50,000 in matching funds to the Give 4 Custer County participating nonprofits. The match pool will be distributed proportionately to participating nonprofits based upon the total amount raised by each organization. The proportional share will be based on the total dollars raised by the individual participating organization in relation to total dollars raised by all participating organizations, these totals are still being finalized.
With the matching dollars added to the total raised by the participating organizations, the preliminary total is over $250,000!! Thank you to all the donors and nonprofits for making this event such a huge success!
