Three local nonprofits get boost from Day of Giving contributions | YourMurrysville.com

Three local nonprofits get boost from Day of Giving contributions | YourMurrysville.com: Delmont Public Library, Murrysville Community Library and the Westmoreland County Food Bank were among dozens of groups to receive donations during the Day of Giving on Oct. 4. Sponsored by the community foundation, the day is a major fundraising event for many nonprofit groups because it includes a "match" from the community foundation.

This year, donors contributed $435,599, and the foundation matched $100,000 of that amount, meaning for every dollar donated, nonprofit groups received an additional 23 cents.
