04 Sep Inman Community Foundation announces 2025 Match Week
The Inman Community Foundation (ICF) has announced that its annual Match Week will take place Sept. 26 through Oct. 3.
For 2025, ICF received two grants from the Patterson Family Foundation, each providing $50,000 in matching funds. One grant will match donations made to local organizational endowments, while the other will match donations made to the Inman Community Fund.
Donors will have multiple ways to give during Match Week:
- Online: Through ICF’s online donation portal.
- In person: Donation boxes will be available at both local banks.
- Special event: An in-person giving event will be held from 4–6 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 1, at Knackies Catering Hall.
Mailed donations should be sent to:
Inman Community Foundation
P.O. Box 508
Inman, KS 67546
Checks must be payable to ICF with “Inman Match Week” in the memo line. To qualify, donations must be postmarked by Oct. 3.
Required Minimum Distribution gifts from IRAs may be made as Qualified Charitable Distributions if a donation form is completed by Oct. 3. While funds do not need to be immediately transferred, they must be received by Dec. 31.
Matching funds will be distributed on a proportional basis. For example, if $50,000 is raised during the week and an organization receives 10% of the total donations, that organization will receive $5,000 as a grant for immediate use.
“This event is an opportunity for organizations to build strong endowments that provide permanent funding,” said Michelle Huddle, CEO of the McPherson County Community Foundation, ICF’s managing affiliate. “At the same time, they benefit from immediate funding by leveraging the grant dollars.”
