The idea is simple. You give $365 — a dollar a day — to make our community better. You pool those daily dollars with others. Then, once a year, you decide together how to award $30,000 to local causes and nonprofits.
LexGive365 is a giving circle that brings Lexington residents together to make a positive impact. Open to donors of all ages, LexGive365 members help Lexington thrive through community-driven giving. Join us!

Eligibility
See full eligibility requirements in the RFP below.
LexGive365 members met at The Melodeon for The Finals, our annual grantmaking meeting, on May 7. We heard project pitches from three Lexington nonprofits and voted on how to award $30,000 in total grants:
Your annual membership contribution is split equally into two pools. One half is used for immediate grantmaking, decided on collectively by LexGive365 members. The other half builds the LexGive365 Endowment, which has grown to over $600,000, ensuring that LexGive365 will be here to benefit Lexington, forever.
You’ll meet quarterly to connect and explore key community issues with others who share your commitment to making a difference.
At the annual grantmaking event, you’ll help award $30,000 in total grants to support local causes. Since 2017, LexGive365 has awarded $210,000 in grants to Lexington nonprofits!
Join LexGive365 any time during the year pay paying $30 per month, or with a one-time payment of $365. Or, become a Lifetime Member with a one-time gift of $3,650.
The LexGive365 Advisory Team is a group of dynamic, local leaders who provide guidance on the programming of LexGive365, review grant proposals and advocate on behalf of LexGive365 membership.
