Solomon Valley Community Foundation is excited to announce their newest event Give to Grow, a one day matching initiative aimed at increasing visibility and long term endowment growth for area nonprofits.
As a result of a successful November Match Month campaign, and with the support of the Patterson Family Foundation, Solomon Valley Community Foundation has set aside $25,000 in matching funds for qualifying nonprofits participating in this year’s Give to Grow event.
Give to Grow will be held on Wednesday, April 24th from 11 am to 7 pm at the Beloit Municipal Building. Solomon Valley Community Foundation invites community members throughout Mitchell County to attend. There will be over 20 area nonprofits onsite, in addition to food trucks, hourly giveaways, live music, refreshments and more.
Donor gifts received during the event will be matched proportionately, up to 100 percent from Solomon Valley Community Foundation’s $25,000 match pool. In addition, hourly giveaways sponsored by area businesses will provide even more opportunities for patrons to select a nonprofit to benefit.
In conjunction with Solomon Valley Community Foundation’s youth engagement initiative, all 102 Mitchell County 5th graders from Beloit Elementary, St. John’s, Lakeside, and Tipton Community School will be bussed in for the event as well. Thanks to generous donations from Guaranty State Bank and SMC Concrete & Construction, each student will be provided $20 in Give to Grow monopoly money so that they too can participate in the giving.
If you are unable to attend Give to Grow in person, but are still interested in participating, donations can be made online, by mail, or by utilizing an existing Solomon Valley Community Foundation Donor Advised Fund.
