MATCHING OPPORTUNITY – TRIPLE YOUR CHARITABLE GIFTS AT THE COMMUNITY FOUNDATION YPC members stand next to a Little Free Library in Jeffersonville they raised funds and helped create artwork for. Thanks to a newly announced matching opportunity from Lilly Endowment Inc. the Community Foundation of Southern Indiana is offering a match for all qualifying contributions made to endowment funds between now and December 31, 2020, or as soon as the allocated matching funds are exhausted. TRIPLE your donation when you contribute to the Community Foundation’s unrestricted Community Impact Fund. Lilly Endowment will match your gift, $2 for every $1 contributed! This is the easiest and most flexible way to provide for the most pressing needs in our community, forever. Annually, the Community Impact Fund makes more than $300,000 in grants to nonprofits throughout our community. Last year, grants from the Community Impact Fund helped Southern Indiana nonprofits address the needs of more than 84,000 people in our community. If you can help us meet this match, it will ultimately mean an additional $80,000 per year we can give away to help the residents of Clark and Floyd counties. If you’d like to know more about the matching opportunity for the Community Impact Fund, or want to learn how you can start your own fund and receive a $1 match for every $2 contributed, call Kenton Wooden at (812) 948-4662 YPC Member Volunteers at Louisville Zoo EXTOL : JUNE/JULY 2019 13
