3 Rivers Community Foundation has announced the launch of its 2026 Meet the Moment Campaign, a community fundraising effort supporting nonprofits serving Benton and Franklin counties. 

The campaign, which runs through Sept. 30, includes a matching challenge from an anonymous donor aimed at raising $75,000 for responsive local grantmaking. 

Originally launched in 2025, Meet the Moment was created to help nonprofits address urgent and emerging community needs through flexible funding. Grants from the fund are distributed locally before the end of the year. 

“Last year’s campaign showed the power of collective generosity in our community,” said Abbey Cameron, CEO of the foundation, in a news release. “Meet the Moment allows us to respond where support is needed most while strengthening the nonprofit organizations serving our region every day.” 

The foundation aims to create opportunities for perpetual giving in Benton and Franklin counties to support nonprofits by managing a collection of many separate endowed funds established by individuals, families and charitable organizations. These funds are pooled and invested and the income from these investments is distributed back into the community of nonprofits.
