Coming together as a community to make a statement about who we are, that we care, that all lives in our community matter. We have a plethora of non-profits serving our communityâs needs. Many people giving their time, their money, their energy, to make our community a better place. Letâs recognize their efforts. No one person can do it all. When everyone recognizes they have something to give, our community wins.
Pennies From Heaven offers âMeet us Halfwayâ match for 2020 Community Wish List
The Pennies from Heaven Foundation is offering a unique match for gifts that support the needs of nonprofits on the Community Foundation for Mason Countyâs 2020 Community Wish Lists.
The community foundation is in its fourth year of hosting the wish lists, which invite area nonprofits to ask for financial help from the community for near-term projects and purchases. These wish list ideas span the county geographically and across interest areas, including education, recreation, environment, arts, community development, health and human services and more.
The Community Wish Lists are organized into three funding levels: less than $500; $500-$1500; and $1500-plus. For a limited time, Pennies From Heaven is offering a âMeet Us Halfwayâ match, covering up to 50 percent of the cost of each individual wish granted from the first two funding levels, with a maximum match gift of $750.
