The Week of Giving (March 18-22) is a fundraising event hosted by Punxsutawney Area Community Foundation and Bridge Builders Community Foundations. This year, community members can donate to 20+ Punxsutawney area nonprofits (over 100 total participating organizations throughout the Northwest PA region). Each tax-deductible donation is then partially matched by corporate sponsors, instantly stretching the value of each contribution beyond 100%.
Investing in Punxsutawney Memorial Library is investing in Punxsutawney and our surrounding communities. Join us during the 3rd annual Week of Giving to raise funds for literacy programs and initiatives at www.bbcfgives.org.
In 2018, Punxsutawney Memorial Library received ~14.5% in additional funds thanks to the the partial match of stretch pool funds:
Donors Contributions: $1,615 | Stretch Pool: $236
Total Received: $1,851
UPDATE: There will be Week of Giving contests that allow participating organizations a chance to earn even more funds! (For these contests, Punxsutawney Memorial Library is classified as a small organization.)
