Good news! The Community Foundation of Southeast Kansas (CFSEK) is hosting Match Day 2019!
Today, Tuesday, December 3, a one-day event celebrating charitable giving on National Giving Tuesday, the Community Foundation is providing $35,000 to match gifts made to participating agencies’ and organizations’ CFSEK endowed funds. The match for each fund will be prorated on a percentage basis, not to exceed 20% of the total match amount.
All donations to an organization or agency, plus the match amount from the Community Foundation, will be placed in the organization’s or agency’s endowment fund held by CFSEK. These endowment funds are invested to produce present and future income annually for distributions to be used for operating and programming expenses or special projects.
