Match Day 2010

The Community Foundation is dedicated to transforming our communities and the lives of our residents by collaborating to tackle big challenges facing our region.

This year, we will once again bring together the "doers" from St. Clair County - our residents, other non-profits, volunteers, business and government - to raise money for organizations providing emergency services in our community such as food, shelter, medical care and clothing.

The demand for these services is growing and so is our dedication to responding to community needs. This year, the Community Foundation has dedicated $75,000 in matching funds to help promote the critical work of the non-profit organizations in our area.

On June 2nd from 9:00 am – 3:00 pm anyone can visit this page or come to one of the Community Foundation offices to make a donation to a participating organization. The Community Foundation will match 50% of all donations between $20 and $1,000 while funds last.

Additionally, we are awarding a $1,000 prize to the organization with the highest number of donors on Match Day!

Match Day donations are now closed. A big thanks to everyone that donated - Match Day was a huge success! Funds will be distributed at the Community Foundation Annual Dinner on June 26, 2010.

Just because Match Day donations are closed doesn't mean you can't donate. Visit our Ways to Give page for all the ways that you can improve the quality of life right here in St. Clair County.
