49 Organizations Participate in Wayne County Foundation Challenge Match
The Wayne County Foundation announced the organizations selected to participate in its 2020 Challenge Match Initiative. This year’s award will be the largest in the program’s nine year history.
Last year the Challenge Match generated over $1.8 million for 47 local non-profits, including $257,500 of match dollars made available by the Foundation and its Match Partners.
This year, $265,000 matching dollars are available for the initiative. “Our generous Match Partners enable us to support more organizations and are critical to the initiative’s success”, said Wayne County Foundation’s Executive Director, Rebecca Gilliam. Participating Match Partners include: Doxpop Charitable Giving Fund, First Bank Community Fund, Fund for Tomorrow, Reinke Donor Advised Fund, and Carla and Dave Stidham.
The 49 participating organizations will have the opportunity to receive funding from the Foundation up to their Match Goal, based on the gifts they receive from the community during the November 2 – 10, 2020, match period.
“The Challenge Match is critical this year. Our nonprofit organizations have continued to address the needs of our community through the COVID-19 pandemic while seeing loss of revenues due to canceled events and fundraisers. We hope all participating organizations are able to raise significant operating funds during with this initiative.
