How It Works
GIVE TO GROW Day from Friday, November 27, 2020 until Wednesday, December 2
holds incredible opportunity for nonprofit agencies with funds at the Greater Sabetha Community Foundation
Here's how it works:
November 27 will be KICK OFF NIGHT DOWNTOWN-- Doors Open at 5:00 PM, serve hot cider and cookies, hand out Donation Forms, answer questions and begin taking donations.
Dates: November 27- December 2 (Donating will occur on-line, at drop off locations around town or by mail and the website donor leaderboard will keep track of totals.)
December 2- Give to Grow Day will finalize at the Creative Farmhouse, open all day to finalize the week of giving.
Donors will have the opportunity to mail in their donation prior or during the week of giving. Donation forms will be available online and in area businesses. Bank and school marquees will display how to donate www.givetogrowday.com
Matching dollars:
$30,000 has been made available to participating organizations. The amount each organization receives will be pro-rated on a percentage basis. The percentage is figured by taking the amount an organization receives divided by the total amount raised that day. That percentage then determines how much of the money an organization receives. 100% of your gift plus the bonus amount will be passed on to the organizations listed on the contribution form.
For example: If an organization has $4,000 in donations and the total donated to all organizations for the day is $100,000, the percentage they raised is 4%. The organization will then also receive 4% of the matching funds available. ($30,000 in matching funds = $1,200)
If an organization has $9,000 in donations and the total donated to all organizations for the day is $100,000, the percentage they raised is 9% of the matching funds available. ($30,000 in matching funds = $2,700)
There isn't a minimum donation amount. While there is no maximum gift amount, prorated funds will only be awarded to the first $3,000 of each donor's contribution.
For example: If a donor chooses to give $5,000 to a single organization, the entire amount will be awarded to the group. However, only $3,000 will be counted toward the total used to figure the challenge percentage.
GSCF will begin to push Give to Grow through Constant Contact and social media in October to allow people to plan and prepare for giving.
Organizations will be encouraged to receive gifts through the Gift of Grain program and the Charitable IRA giving program. This information will be made available by organizations through our website www.sabethafoundation.org
