The fourth annual Keith County Big Give is presented by the Keith County Foundation Fund (KCFF) in partnership with Keith County nonprofit organizations.  For 2024, every donation has an extra impact because participating nonprofit organizations will also get a proportional share of the total match funds of at least $75,000!

  1. Raise over $300,000 for participating organizations through donations, matching funds, and prizes
  2. Introduce new donors to local nonprofit organizations and engage at least 500 donors.
