Future farmers just got a boost, thanks to a $3,650 donation from Give 270 to the Central Hardin FFA Alumni. The funding comes from Round 14 of Give 270’s Whiskey Wednesdays raffle—a community-driven fundraiser that blends bourbon enthusiasts with big-hearted giving.
The Central Hardin FFA Alumni supports agricultural education by funding scholarships, leadership opportunities, and hands-on learning for students at Central Hardin High School. This donation will help continue that mission and invest in the future of agriculture in Hardin County.
Give 270 has raised more than $1.8 million since 2016 to support nonprofits and development across Hardin, LaRue, and Meade counties. Learn more or get involved at give270.org.
Give 270 recently presented a $3,650 donation to the Fort Knox Spouses and Community Club (FKSCC), raised through Round 14 of their popular Whiskey Wednesdays raffle. Each round of the raffle allows participants to purchase $5 tickets for a chance to win rare and collectible bottles of bourbon, with proceeds going directly to local nonprofits.
FKSCC is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to supporting the Fort Knox military community through scholarships, charitable grants, and social activities that connect and uplift military spouses. This donation will go toward funding scholarships for high school seniors, military spouses pursuing higher education, and local organizations that support Fort Knox families.
Give 270’s creative approach to fundraising—through weekly raffles and signature events—has raised over $1.8 million for causes in Hardin, Meade, and LaRue counties since its founding in 2016. The partnership with FKSCC reflects the shared mission of both organizations to serve and strengthen the Fort Knox and Elizabethtown communities.
In a remarkable display of community support, Give 270’s BR-006 raffle has raised $22,620 for The Wizdom Foundation. This generous contribution will aid the foundation in its mission to support local Kentuckiana charities through bourbon bottle donations.
