Midlands Community Foundation Raises $740K in Matching Charitable Program

Midlands Community Foundation (MCF) is pleased to announce that its sixth MCF Matching Charitable Program that ran from Giving Tuesday, November 27, 2018, through January 7, 2019, raised nearly $740,000, with $429,680 qualifying for matching funds.

Under the Matching Charitable Program, MCF provided matching funds for new contributions made to existing and newly created Affiliated General, Designated, Donor Advised, Field of Interest, and Scholarship Funds. Matching donations were made on a dollar-for-dollar basis up to a limit of $5,000 per individual donor, and subject to a maximum of $100,000 of matching dollars being available in the aggregate for all funds. Because more than $100,000 was contributed on an aggregate basis to all funds, the matching dollars were pro-rated among such donors based on the total contributions made.

“We are pleased to offer this opportunity to our 130 charitable funds, providing them with greater awareness and visibility, connecting them with new supporters, and giving donors an incentive to support all of the good work these funds are doing in our community,” said Tonee Gay, Midlands Community Foundation executive director.

The mission of Midlands Community Foundation is to benefit the diverse needs of the Sarpy and Cass county communities by providing financial support, involvement, and service. Since its inception, the foundation has donated more than nine million dollars to many worthy organizations through its grants program, discretionary giving, and special events.
