How Your Donation Supports Fluvanna
Donating to FCHS does more than enter you into prize drawings. Your support directly affects the preservation and growth of Fluvanna’s rich history and community life. Here’s how your gift makes a difference:
Restore the Historic Fluvanna Meeting House: Your support helps us renovate and keep this landmark in excellent condition for future generations.
Offer Educational Programs: Funds enable FCHS to provide learning opportunities for all ages, connecting people with local heritage.
Preserve Local History: Donations help protect artifacts, documents, and stories that tell the story of Fluvanna’s past.
Host Community Events: Donations help organize events that bring neighbors together and celebrate Fluvanna’s unique culture.
Strengthen the Fluvanna Community: By supporting FCHS, you help build a stronger, more connected community through creative programming, events, and shared experiences that bring family, neighbors, friends and visitors together around our unique story and heritage.
Every dollar counts toward these goals, making your donation a powerful investment in Fluvanna’s future.
Make the Most of 'Give 716' Power Hours
Throughout 'Give 716,' certain hours are designated as Power Hours. During these special periods, sponsors provide matching funds, giving you an opportunity to have your gift matched.
If you're planning a larger donation, these are excellent times to give.
July 15 - 7:16 PM Power Hour: The opening Power Hour features an incredible $71,600 matching pool generously provided by Kevin "Duke" Reilly. Donations made during this hour are eligible for matching up to $500 per donation.
July 15 - 9:00 PM Power Hour: A second Power Hour begins at 9:00 PM with an additional $50,000 matching pool.
These are the two largest matching opportunities of the event and are excellent times to make a larger gift.
Did you miss the first two Power Hours? Don't worry!
'Give 716' features eight Power Hours and a total of $266,600 in matching funds provided by generous supporters and corporate partners throughout the event. On July 16 alone, organizations such as Highmark, M&T Bank, Wegmans, KeyBank, Delaware North, and Arc Building Partners will provide $145,000 in matching funds, creating numerous opportunities throughout the day to have your donation matched. To see the full schedule for each Power Hour click the "Power Hour Lineup" flyer.
Small Gifts Are Powerful Too
Not everyone can make a large donation, and that's perfectly okay.
Throughout 'Give 716,' the Buffalo Bills and Buffalo Sabres Foundations will award three $500 grants every hour to participating nonprofits. To be eligible, a nonprofit simply needs to receive at least one donation of $25 or more during that hour.
That means your $25 donation can help put the Historical Society in the running for one of these hourly grants.
In other words, a gift that might seem small can help unlock additional funding for local history preservation, educational programs, community events, and stewardship of the historic Fluvanna Meeting House.
Every donation matters.
Every donor matters.
Every hour matters.
