Help Bring Extra Funding to Downtown Lewisburg

Last Updated 3/11/2026


Time Your Gift During Raise the Region

Raise the Region begins Wednesday at 6:00 PM, launching 30 hours of community giving that supports nonprofits across our region. This annual campaign is an opportunity for everyone to come together and invest in the organizations that help make our communities vibrant and thriving.

Throughout the evening, several special contests will take place where the timing of your donation can help unlock additional funding for Downtown Lewisburg. By giving during these windows, supporters can help Lewisburg Downtown Partnership compete for extra prize money that directly supports our work downtown.

If you are planning to make a donation, consider timing your gift during one of these opportunities.

Key Giving Opportunities

Fast Start Prize
6:00 – 6:30 PM
Every donation of $25 or more made during the first half hour of the campaign is entered into a random drawing. Early support helps build momentum right from the start.

Minute Match
6:15 PM (one minute only)
During this one-minute window, $50 gifts may be matched dollar-for-dollar while matching funds last. Setting a quick reminder for 6:15 PM is a great way to potentially double the impact of your gift.

Kick Off Challenge
6:30 – 7:00 PM
This challenge recognizes the nonprofit receiving the largest single gift during this half-hour window. If you are planning a larger contribution, this is a powerful time to give.

Prime Time Prize
8:00 – 10:00 PM
The nonprofit that raises the most funds during this popular evening window receives the prize. Giving during prime time helps keep the momentum going.

Skillful Gifting Prize
10:00 PM – 12:00 AM
This contest recognizes nonprofits receiving the most gifts of $100 or more during the window.

Sleep Walker Prize
12:00 – 5:00 AM
Even overnight giving counts. The nonprofit that raises the most funds during these early morning hours receives the prize.

Every Gift Makes a Difference

While these contests create exciting moments throughout the campaign, every donation matters, no matter when it is made. Support from donors helps Lewisburg Downtown Partnership continue the work that keeps downtown Lewisburg vibrant, welcoming, and thriving for residents, businesses, and visitors alike.

If you’re planning to participate in Raise the Region, consider timing your gift during one of these moments to help maximize the impact.

Together, we can make this year’s campaign a success for downtown Lewisburg and our entire community.
