Giving Tuesday Matching Event
Update: As of December 9, 2024, we have received $3,522 from 13 donors. Gifts can still be made before December 15 to qualify for the matching grant.
For the second year in a row in celebration of Giving Tuesday on December 3, 2024, any gift made to the Iola Public Library Endowment Fund between November 15 and December 15 will be matched through the Rural Community Foundation Match Program. To illustrate the benefits of this program, we raised $11,540 last year, including $5,000 from the Rotary Club of Iola, and received an additional $10,460 in matching funds. Your Community Foundation received this grant, that will match up to $70,000, from the Patterson Family Foundation and Kansas Association of Community Foundation.
Your Community Foundation has posted a running total of what’s been raised among the various community endowments, including the library. Have a look here: Your Community Foundation > Match Day
