“Give Where you Live” in this Season of Giving
HARRISBURG (Nov. 21, 2024) – Thanksgiving is the beginning of the holiday season, but it also marks the start of the Season of Giving – a time when folks evaluate their financial support of local nonprofits and make charitable donations based on their goals and priorities. The Foundation for Enhancing Communities (TFEC) is celebrating the Season of Giving with $30,000 in matching gifts.
Starting December 3rd, all gifts to TFEC’s five regional funds – the Dillsburg Area Community Fund, the Franklin County Community Fund, the Lebanon County Community Fund, the Mechanicsburg Area Community Fund and the Perry County Community Fund – as well as the John Warden Fund for The Future, which covers Cumberland, Dauphin, Franklin, Lebanon, Perry, and Northern York Counties - will be matched up to $5,000. The Season of Giving match runs through December 31, 2024.
“Gifts from the community are at the cornerstone of everything we do,” says Jennifer J. Doyle, TFEC President & CEO. “Gifts made to our regional funds and the Fund for the Future will be matched up to $5,000, helping us to support nonprofits that serve our neighbors in need.”
Donations to these funds are pooled with contributions from other caring donors, creating a growing endowment that provides both immediate and long-term grants. Local volunteer committees determine how these grants are distributed, ensuring they meet the specific needs of our communities.
