Midlands Community Foundation is pleased to announce that its second MCF Matching Charitable Program which ran from December 1, 2014 through January 5, 2015 raised more than $305,000, with $180,000 qualifying for matching funds. These donations were contributed by 324 donors to 41 established funds at Midlands Community Foundation and its Affiliated Funds.
Under the Matching Charitable Program, MCF provided matching funds for NEW contributions made to existing and newly created Designated Funds, Field of Interest Funds, Affiliated General Funds and Donor Advised Funds. Matching donations were made on a dollar-for-dollar basis up to a limit of $5,000 per donor, and subject to a maximum of $100,000 of matching dollars being available in the aggregate for all Funds. If more than $100,000 was contributed on an aggregate basis to all Funds, the matching dollars for that entity was pro-rated among such donors based on the total contributions made. Since its inception, the Foundation has donated millions of dollars to many worthy organizations through its grants program, discretionary giving and special events.
