Kalamazoo Community Foundation Match Day

Bronson Park, downtown Kalamazoo, Michigan

June 23rd, 2010, 11:00 am-6:00 pm

 

The Kalamazoo Community Foundation is celebrating its 85th birthday this year and has given Kalamazoo's nonprofit community--and generous donors like you--85,000 reasons to celebrate with them on Match Day!

 

Match Day is a very special event designed to help nonprofit organizations like Tillers International build the endowment fund established for our benefit at the Community Foundation. On Match Day, which will take place on June 23 in Bronson Park, the Community Foundation will match each dollar donated to the Tillers Growth Fund with 50 cents that will be available for us to use immediately. There are $85,000 in match dollars available!

 

On Match Day, you are invited to come to the park anywhere between 11 a.m. and 6 p.m. and make a donation to the Tillers Growth Fund. Donations must be made in person and can be made by cash, check or credit card (Visa, MasterCard, Discover or American Express). You can come to the park and donate anytime throughout the day, but we encourage you to come early, because while donations will be accepted all day, they will only be matched until the $85,000 is exhausted.

 

For complete Match Day details, including information about maximum donations, how your gift will be receipted, and Michigan Community Foundation Tax Credit eligibility, please visit the Kalamazoo Community Foundation's website at www.kalfound.org.
