The Golden Belt Community Foundation is working hard for the forth year to help the community on Giving Tuesday by taking donations for local charities.“Giving Tuesday is very important to the community,” GBCF Executive Director Christy Tustin said. “It is a way for the community to help out local charities by adding to these charities’ endowment funds.”According to GBCF, endowments provide a permanent source of continual funding from invested capital, meaning the gift people give leaves a legacy forever. $25,000 in matching funds will be awarded in proportion to the total amount raised during the entire month of November. Matching funds go directly back to the charity assisting with immediate needs while people’s gift to their endowment fund creates a lasting local impact into perpetuity.
