For 15 years, the Adams County Community Foundation Giving Spree has been a powerful day of giving for our community — a time when neighbors come together to support local nonprofits and give them a financial boost. Thanks to the incredible generosity of Adams Countians, the Giving Spree has become one of the largest per capita giving days in the nation!
One Gift. Many Impacts.
The Giving Spree makes it easy to support multiple nonprofits with a single donation. You can give via:
- Check
- Credit Card
- Securities
- Qualified Charitable Distribution from your IRA
- Grants from a Donor-Advised Fund or Private Foundation
On the Donation Form, you decide how each gift will be used:
- Today – Your gift goes directly to the nonprofit for immediate use.
- Forever – Your gift goes into the nonprofit’s endowment, providing annual support for years to come.
The Giving Spree is operated at no cost to nonprofits — and no fees are taken from your donations. The Community Foundation even provides an incentive match to increase the impact of your gift!
