Community Foundation of Fayette County

The Community Foundation of Fayette County (CFFC) was founded on November 15, 1999... making this year our 25th anniversary! Founding Community Members: John Buchanon; Charles Cluss; Lee Frankhouse; Albert Skomra; Lynda Waggoner; Robert Eberly Sr. Founding Private Foundations: Claude Worthington Benedum Foundation; Eberly Foundation; Richard King Mellon Foundation; McCune Foundation With the generosity of many individuals and businesses over the years, CFFC has grown to over $24 million in assets and stewards nearly 200 charitable funds. Every year, a percentage of these charitable assets are used to support a number of nonprofits and local students.

📰 Read about Encore! in today's Herald-Standard! The Community Foundation of Fayette County is happy to support this program through the first-ever Catalyst for Change Grant to Main Street Theatre Company, in collaboration with State Theatre Center for the Arts and Fayette County Cultural Trust. “For the Catalyst for Change Grants, CFFC is looking for big ideas… projects that will spark change and growth in Fayette County,” said Renee M. Couser, CFFC Executive Director. “It’s been a community effort to raise these funds … and we’re excited for everyone to see Main Street Theatre's ‘big idea’ in action.” “We hope that ‘Encore!’ will highlight the abundance of talent that we have right here in our community and all of the wonderful things that each school district in our county has to offer,” said John Wagner-Malia, President & Artistic Director of Main Street Theatre Company. https://lnkd.in/eaWqUz4h ---- #fayettecountypa #galaofgiving #catalystforchange #cffayettepa #fayettecountyarts #supportlocaltalent #grants #philanthropy Special thank-you to Mark Hofmann for highlighting this story!
