Alexander McGregor Endowment

05/21/2026

Yesterday was a great day for McGregor.

Thirty-six donors came together on Great Give Day and raised $23,650 for the Alexander McGregor Endowment. We're still a little speechless.

This community has always known how to look out for itself — and for the generations that come after. That's exactly what each of these gifts represents. We're proud to steward this generosity, and we don't take the trust behind it lightly.

To every donor who gave: thank you. You reminded us why this work matters.

Together, we really can do great things.

Wow! We did it — and then some!

The Alexander McGregor Endowment has reached its Great Give Day goal of $10,000. This wouldn't have happened without the remarkable generosity of donors near and far — people who believe in McGregor, who invest in its future, and who show up when it matters most. Because of you, McGregor's story keeps growing.

But we're not stopping there. Every dollar beyond $10,000 goes directly toward making the community we love even better.

There's still time today. If you haven't given yet, now is the moment. And if you already have — from the bottom of our hearts, thank you. You made this possible. Share this post and help us keep the momentum going.

McGregor has always been a town that takes care of its own. Great Give Day gives all of us a chance to live up to that legacy. A gift to the Alexander McGregor Endowment — large or small — helps ensure this community continues to thrive for generations to come.
And here's even better news: thanks to a generous 2 to1 gift, your $50 donation becomes $75 — and your $100 becomes $150.
Give on May 20th and make your mark. Busy tomorrow? You can give early today and still receive the match. https://www.greatgiveday.org/organization/Alexandermcgregorendowment
