Community Giving Week is Now!

Thanks for celebrating philanthropy with us during Community Giving Week! Be sure to check out our posts on Facebook that highlight the work of many local non-profit organizations. We also can’t wait for Thursday’s Community Reception, where we’ll be honoring the CHS Class of ’62 with the Legacy Award!
Endowment Matching Opportunity is available all week!

The Foundation will match all one-time donations to endowment funds* received or postmarked during Community Giving Week (Sept. 20-26, 2026) dollar-for-dollar up to $100! Also, new or increased online Recurring Gifts (automatically paid monthly, quarterly or yearly by credit card) to endowments will be matched up to $100 each payment for a year.
Take a look at how this matching program can maximize your charitable impact:
One Time Gifts
$25 donation + $25 Foundation match = $50 impact!
$100 donation + $100 Foundation match = $200 impact!
Online Recurring Gifts
$100 donation/month + $100 Foundation match/month = $2,400 impact!
Increased Online Recurring Gift
(Please call for assistance)
Existing $100 donation/month + $20 increase + $100 Foundation match/month = 2,640 impact!
