Giving Tuesday is fast approaching and will be on Tuesday, December 2nd, 2025. Planning for this year’s 12th Giving Tuesday has started at the Golden Belt Community Foundation. Again, this year the foundation is inviting all qualified charitable organizations in Barton, Edwards, Pawnee, Rush, and Stafford counties to participate in the giving campaign and celebration.

The first step in signing up for the first time or the 12th time is the registration form. The registration form will be shared to the GBCF Facebook page and website or stop by the office for a hard copy. Information will continue to be updated as time gets closer to December 2nd.

Any organization that would like to sign up for this year’s Giving Tuesday campaign for the first time, please email [email protected] or call the office to start the process and/or ask any questions.

Giving Tuesday is open to:

· Any qualified charitable organization in Barton, Pawnee, Rush or Stafford counties may participate

· Funds raised may be granted directly back to the charitable organization or added to the organization’s endowment fund – it is the organization’s choice

· Matching funds will be awarded proportionally to organizations with GBCF endowment funds

· Other incentives to participate to be announced

Organizations must opt in for Giving Tuesday by September 10, 2025 in order to participate by completing their online registration form.

GBCF has an opportunity to earn up to $100,000 in funds thanks to the Patterson Family Foundation. $50,000 will be matching funds that will be used as a proportional match for those funds who have an endowment with the foundation.
