Four Simple Ways to Give:

GMCF has updated the verbiage from “postmarked” to “received” due to current mail delays, which are running approximately three weeks behind. To ensure donations are included in the matching fund amounts, they must be received by April 22, 2025. Donations received after this date will still be given to the designated nonprofits but will not be eligible for matching funds.

Donations will go directly to the non-profits; The 50% match will grow endowments
● In 2025, your donations will be made available to each organization for their immediate needs. The 50% match will go into their endowed fund at GMCF.

● Combined donations up to $15,000 will be matched at 50%, giving a maximum of $7,500 in matching funds to any one organization.

How It Works

Individual contributions ranging from $25 to $1,000 per organization will receive a local match at $.50 per $1, so a $1,000 gift will receive a $500 local match. If a donor gives a $5,000 gift split evenly between five organizations, each group is eligible to receive a $500 match. Combined donations of $15,000 will be matched at 50%, giving a maximum of $7,500 in matching funds to any one organization.

Gifts made by community donors will go directly to each organization for their immediate needs. The match money earned by each non-profit group will be deposited into their GMCF-endowed fund. Some may choose to add all gifts to their endowment.

Each hour, one donor who made a gift at the live event at Colony Square Atrium will be drawn for $100 to give to the participating fund of their choice.
