Introducing Match Madness!

7 AM to 7 PM
March 13th
Moka's Downtown

This one-day only, one-site event is designed to generate new gifts to endowed funds for local charities for long-term support, as well as current gifts to help them meet immediate needs.

The "Stats"

Come by Mokas Downtown and "fill out a bracket" for your favorite participating charity. New endowed donations between $20 and $1,000 will receive a 50¢ on the dollar matching cash grant for the charity. Ten percent of each donation will go to the Fund for Greater Salina, a community grant fund offering annual grants to local charitable projects. All donations are tax deductable.

Example: John Doe makes a gift of $100 to the Foundation for Charity A. $90 goes into Charity A's endowed fund; $10 goes into the Fund for Greater Salina endowment; Charity A receives a $50 grant for immediate needs.

Up to $25,000 in matching funds are available. Additional $100 grants will be made every hour throughout the day. At the end of the day, the organization that has raised the most for its endowment will receive a bonus grant of $500. Second and third place prizes of $200 and $100 will also be awarded.

Read official rules on how you can participate.
