INMAN, Kan. — The Inman Community Foundation is excited to announce that we have received a grant to increase the amount that we can match for our upcoming Match Week! This grant, gifted from the Patterson Family Foundation, will provide up to $70,000 in matching dollars.
Match Week officially kicks off on Friday, September 20th, and concludes Friday, September 27. The Inman Community Foundation and Inman Harvest Café will be hosting a reception and in-person opportunity to give on Thursday, September 26 from 2 pm – 4 pm.
Matching funds are given to organizations based on a proportional basis. If $70,000 is raised during the week and an organization receives 10% of the total donations, they will receive $7,000 to use for immediate needs.
Required Minimum Distribution gifts can be made from your IRA to make a Qualified Charitable Distribution as long as a donation form is filled out by Sept. 27. Funds from IRA accounts do not have to be transferred immediately and will be accepted by the Foundation up until Dec. 31.
“This event is an opportunity for organizations to build a strong endowment that will help with permanent funding,” Becky Goss, President and CEO of managing affiliate organization the McPherson County Community Foundation said, “They will receive immediate funding by leveraging the grant dollars.”
More information on the event along with a active donation link will be posted as we get closer to the event.
