The Fayette Area Common Fund, a nonprofit fund dedicated to providing financial resources to local organizations that benefit the community, is seeking donations. Pledge cards are inserted inside this newspaper and available for download here.

For 44 years, the Common Fund has supported local groups including the Fayette Senior Citizens Center, Parents as Teachers, the Fayette Ministerial Alliance Buddy Pack and Benevolence Fund, PAWS, and the Christmas Holiday House. Its members include Allen Garrett, Dennis Potter, Sarah Page, Pat Hilgedick, Julie McAnelly, and Paula Thies. 

Each year, the fund accepts applications for grants, as well as donations from individuals and businesses in the community who would like to support multiple projects in Fayette by making donations to one group.

The deadline to apply for this year’s funding cycle was September 10. Organizations that received funds from the 2020 campaign are reminded to provide an accounting of how the monies were utilized, including receipts, and are encouraged to include photos. These can be sent to Julie McAnelly at julie.mcanelly@commercialtrust.com. 

Anyone interested in making a donation to the fund should fill out the form included in this newspaper. Sponsorship up to $99 will be included in the Friends Club. The Century Club is for donations up to $249, the Silver Club for donations up to $499, the Gold Club for contributions up to $4,999, and the Platinum Club is for donations in excess of $5,000. 

Questions should be directed to Fund Secretary Paula Thies at (660) 248-5306.
