Giving Tuesday brought in more than $90,000 to many funds within the Starke County Community Foundation. The total amount included a promise from Lilly Endowment, Inc. to match all gifts to community funds $2.00 for every $1.00 donated.
Starke County Community Foundation officials are calling this year’s effort the most successful Giving Tuesday to date.
Giving Tuesday harnesses the potential of the generosity of people around the world to bring real change in their communities. The mission of the Community Foundation is to improve the quality of life in communities by assisting donors in fulfilling their charitable wishes. The foundation does this by building endowment funds for communities with contributions, both large and small.
