Holiday Giving

Caring Catalog

A Holiday Community Giving Partnership with 25 Local Nonprofits

In 2018, the FM Area Foundation launched its Caring Catalog initiative, aimed at spotlighting local charities during the season of giving. Since its inception, this program has raised over $900,000 for over 150 local charities. Over time, the FM Area Foundation has sought ways to increase the impact of this program by focusing on local outreach.

This year, the Foundation proudly presented 25 outstanding local charities collaborating with us in 2022. These organizations represent diverse causes that the FM Area Foundation has already invested in and were excellent candidates for community support in the 2022 Caring Catalog.

The FM Area Foundation covers all credit card fees for donations, and there are no participation fees for the nonprofits involved in the Caring Catalog event. This means that 100% of donations go directly to the chosen cause.
