Hello Friday. March 29 2024 'Tis the season of gifting + giving The season of gifting + giving is upon us. Just in time for year end giving, #GivingTuesday — the global campaign that encourages generosity + kindness — is next Tues., Nov. 30. This also happens to be the start of the Blue Grass Community Foundation’s Good Giving Challenge which runs through Mon., Dec 6. Each day is sponsored by various funds that are willing to match big dollars for our support. On #GivingTuesday alone — two separate donors will be giving up to $125,000 in matched donations. This is our chance to make an impact on the lives of our fellow Lexingtonians. We’re sharing with you 30 local groups to consider for your year-end giving.
