LEXINGTON — On Thursday, Nov. 7, 2024, the residents of Lexington and neighboring communities will come together to champion for a difference during the 14th annual Give BIG Lexington initiative.
Since its inception, Lexington Community Foundation has been inspired by the way this fundraising campaign has become a central focus for the community and a model for many others. The profound impact it has had defies measurement.
LCF provides a $50,000 match incentive, random prizes and covers all fees associated with GBL. The designated causes receive 100% of donations plus their portion of match funding and prizes. Donors maximize their donation impact by giving during Give BIG Lexington.
More than 80 Lexington area nonprofits, as well as the four partnering communities (Cozad, Elwood, Gothenburg, and Overton) are featured on the giving day platform – givebiglexington.org. The giving day site is live and donations can be scheduled now through midnight on November 7.
Please visit the site to discover and donate to causes serving our area.
There are multiple ways to participate in GBL ‘24:
• Give online at: givebiglexington.org
• Mail or drop off your donation to Lexington Community Foundation, PO Box 422 / 607 N. Washington St., Lexington, NE 68850 (must be postmarked before November 7, 2024, to qualify for matching funds)
• Bring your donations to Give BIG Headquarters from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. at the Orthman Community YMCA– 1207 N. Grant St. on November 7
• Call the LCF office (308-324-6704) for help with invoiced donations or having trouble with credit card donations on the Give BIG site
GBL ‘24 is made possible because of the support and trust of generous people who work with LCF to
achieve goals.
