MOUNDRIDGE — The Moundridge Community Foundation (MCF) kicks off its 10th annual Match Week on November 3-7, offering the community a unique opportunity to double the impact of charitable giving through $100,000 in matching funds.

MCF has secured two separate $50,000 grants from the Patterson Family Foundation for 2025. One grant will match donations made to local organizational endowments, while the other will match contributions to the Moundridge Community Fund, marking a special milestone for community endowment building.

Last year's Match Week raised an impressive $174,948.75, demonstrating strong community support for local organizations and initiatives.

"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, MCF's managing affiliate. "At the same time, they benefit from immediate funding by leveraging the grant dollars."

Matching funds will be distributed proportionally based on the percentage of total donations each organization receives. For example, if an organization receives 10% of total donations and more than $50,000 is raised during the week, that organization will receive $5,000 as a grant for immediate use.

2025 Participating Organizations:

Angels Attic, Cradle to Crayons, Helping Hands of Moundridge, Mobility Worldwide, Moundridge Alumni Association, Moundridge Arts Council, Moundridge Education Fund, Moundridge Food Pantry, Moundridge Historical Museum, Moundridge Public Library, Moundridge Recreation Commission, Moundridge Senior Center, Moundridge Youth Fund, Pine Village, and Swiss Mennonite Culture and Heritage Association.
