MCF’s Charitable Funds Raise More than $1.8 Million During Matching Charitable Program

Midlands Community Foundation (MCF) is pleased to announce that 115 of the 180 charitable funds under its non-profit umbrella took advantage of MCF’s Matching Charitable Program. The program, sponsored by MCF, raised more than $1.8 million from Giving Tuesday, December 3, 2024, through January 6, 2025, with $635,932 qualifying for matching funds from MCF.
 
Under the Matching Charitable Program, MCF provided matching funds for NEW contributions made to existing and newly created Affiliated General, Designated, Donor Advised, Field of Interest and Scholarship Funds. Matching donations were made on a dollar-for-dollar basis up to a limit of $5,000 per individual donor, and subject to a maximum of $100,000 of matching dollars being available for all Funds. Because more than $100,000 was contributed to all Funds, the matching dollars were pro-rated among such donors based on the total contributions made.
 
"Each year we are thrilled to see how the Match Program highlights how much more we can do together. MCF is pleased to offer this program to our more than 180 charitable funds and it's always incredible to see what they accomplish with this opportunity," said Diane Knicky, MCF Executive Director. "We commend them on their outreach and connection with donors. The work they do to support their missions is what really makes the Match Program so successful, and we are grateful for the chance to help enhance their community impact."
 
The mission of Midlands Community Foundation is to be a catalyst for lasting impact in Sarpy and Cass counties and to give opportunities to organizations and individuals to pursue their charitable goals.
