During this fundraising marathon, we encourage you to donate to the participating charities – all of which are making a positive impact in Fayette County.

Charities must be exempt from federal income tax as an organization described in section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, must not be a “private foundation” as defined in section 509(a) of the Code, and must file the Federal Form 990 annually. To determine whether your organization has 501(c)(3) and 509(a) status, refer to your IRS determination letter or use the IRS website to look up your status. In this database, your charity must be listed as “PC” for “Deductibility Status” to meet eligibility.

Check-writing donors can support one or multiple charities by submitting one check payable to “CFFC” for the total amount, along with an official CFFC Fayette Gives Check Contribution Form to specify the selected charity/ies.
