Christmas time is nearly here, and while shoppers are looking for the best presents for friends and family, the Western Kansas Community Foundation is reminding area residents to consider a gift to their favorite non-profit agencies as well.
Through Dec. 2, WKCF is hosting its annual Match Day fundraising campaign for area agencies, and this year, Program and Marketing Director Stacie Hahn said 55 agencies are partnering with the event to raise money for their programs and operations through the foundation.
“We have solicited a match pool of funds from some private sponsors and individuals of $150,000,” she said. “For the donations that come in to the non-profits that are participating, we provide that match pool and match those gifts proportionately per each organization to the total amount of donations that come in through the whole event.”
