11 Sep Foundation Announces Establishment of Galva Community Fund & Upcoming Match Week
The McPherson County Community Foundation is proud to announce the launch of the Galva Community Fund.
To kickstart the fund, anonymous donors have pledged $50,000 in matching dollars for the community of Galva. Every dollar given during this Match Week, September 29 through October 2, will be doubled until the full $50,000 match is met.
The Galva Community Fund is the sixth community-specific fund in McPherson County. Like the others, it will support local grant applications, funding programs and projects that make a lasting difference. Past community funds have backed everything from youth programming to beautification efforts.
As an endowment, the Galva Community Fund will be able to spend approximately 5% of its funds annually. The total fund balance will be invested, giving the fund the ability to support the community for generations to come.

- In person: Donation boxes will be available at Farmers State Bank and Home Communications, Inc.
