Adams County Community Foundation Giving Spree

For 16 years, the Adams County Community Foundation Giving Spree has been Adams County’s day of giving: when everyone comes together to learn about local nonprofits and give them a financial boost. The amazing generosity of Adams Countians has made our Giving Spree consistently one of America’s largest giving days!

The Giving Spree makes it easy for you to give to multiple nonprofits with one gift by check, credit card, securities, or even a qualified charitable distribution from your IRA.

You decide how each gift you make will be used by the nonprofits you support with a checkbox on the Donation Form. Check “Today” and your gift goes directly to the organization for its immediate use. Check “Forever” and your gift will be added to your favorite nonprofit’s endowment, which then provides an annual grant to the nonprofit for years to come.

The Community Foundation operates the Giving Spree as a gift to Adams County: Thanks to our sponsors, no fees are charged to participating nonprofits and there is no fee taken from donations. We also provide incentive pools and prizes to boost donor gifts even further.
