The Library is joining hundreds of other county non-profit organizations for the Extraordinary Give, Lancaster County’s largest day of online giving! We encourage you to donate to groups that are near to your heart, and we hope that includes Milanof-Schock Library. Please keep in mind that government funds only half of our budget, and the remaining 50% must be earned through fundraisers. Life-enriching services and books are provided to the community at no cost to its residents, and when we get together and give together, a little can go a long way!
What is the Extraordinary Give? The Lancaster Community Foundation hosts the “Extraordinary Give” for local community benefit organizations because they are invested in bringing awareness to the community benefit organizations that make the community a vibrant place to live, work, and play. Community benefit organizations play a huge role in all our lives and as a Community Foundation, they are deeply dedicated to supporting the good work that they do.
The aim of the Extraordinary Give program is to: Raise the level of knowledge about community benefit organizations in our county and highlight their positive impact on our well-being.
Support the operating needs of community benefit organizations that serve Lancaster County through at least $500,000 of stretch pool dollars and $50,000 in prizes from the Foundation, our presenting sponsors Rodgers & Associates and the High Foundation, and other community supporters.
Grow the base of engaged donors in Lancaster – bringing new donors to our community benefit organizations.
Spotlight the charitable trends in our community. Where are we giving? What are our community benefit organizations saying is vital and needed right now?
In just 6 days of giving, the Extraordinary Give has raised more than $31 MILLION for organizations across our community! Thanks to Presenting Sponsors Rodgers & Associates, the High Foundation, and other supporters, this year will offer the biggest Stretch Pool to date at more than $500,000. Mark your calendars for November 16, 2018 as we work together to make this the biggest Extraordinary Give yet!
