Community Foundation sets record during November Match Month!

CONCORDIA, Kan.— The Foundation is excited to announce that it raised $60,000 more than last year, making a total of $102,867.30 during their November Match Month. Gifts to the Impact Fund for Cloud County were matched at 300% by the Hansen and Patterson Family Foundation, gifts to other participating endowed funds were matched at 100% by the Patterson Family Foundation.

This resulted in a total match of $100,000 from Dane G. Hansen and $70,000 from Patterson Family Foundation, making a total impact of $272,867.30 that will be invested permanently in endowments that support local area grantmaking for schools, the arts, parks, economic development, public health, the administration of the foundation and more.

“We are so very grateful and humbled by the astounding generosity shown as we worked to reach not only our original $70,000 goal, but also our secondary goal of $100,000. Combined with the generous matching funds from the Dane G. Hansen and Patterson Family Foundations, the Community Foundation for Cloud County will grow by over $272,000, therefore enabling us to impact today and transform tomorrow in greater ways than ever before.” ~Brenda Gilliland, Executive Director
