Daviess County, Indiana – In celebration of Giving Tuesday 2026, a generous donor is again offering a special matching gift opportunity to benefit the Daviess County Museum Endowment, held by Our Community Foundation. On Tuesday, December 1, all contributions to the Endowment will be matched dollar-for-dollar, up to a total of $30,000.
This opportunity allows donors to double the impact of their generosity, with every dollar donated matched until the full $30,000 in matching funds has been awarded.
“We are grateful for donors who recognize the importance of preserving our community’s history and are willing to inspire others to give,” said Chris Jarrett, Executive Director of Our Community Foundation. “This matching opportunity demonstrates the power of local philanthropy and how working together can create lasting impact for Daviess County.”
The Daviess County Museum Endowment was established to provide ongoing financial support for the Daviess County Historical Society Museum. Through the power of endowment, gifts to the fund help ensure the museum remains a valuable resource for preserving local history, educating future generations, and celebrating the heritage of Daviess County.
To qualify for the match, donations must be made on Giving Tuesday, December 1. Contributions may be made online through the Foundation’s giving portal at www.localforever.org, in person at the Foundation’s office (201 E Main St, Washington), or by mail. Mailed contributions must be postmarked by December 1 to be eligible.
