This one-day event is designed to generate new gifts to local nonprofits’ endowed funds at GSCF for long-term support, as well as current gifts to help meet their immediate needs.

Here’s how it works:

You make a gift to one or more participating charities with endowment funds at GSCF on March 14 (in-person or online).

GSCF matches your gift proportionally up to 50% in the form of an instant cash grant to the charity to use for current needs.

$75,000 in matching funds available, plus $2,000 in bonus grants
