Unite For Rice County is the Rice County Community Foundation's first-ever match week! We graciously thank the Patterson Family Foundation for the $70,000 of match money in order to support our fund holders and Rice County non-profits. This match contribution has made our first match week possible!
What is a Match Week?
During our upcoming match week event, every dollar you donate will magically be worth more, propelling our non-profit's and fund holder's mission to new heights and ensuring your generosity packs twice the punch in changing lives for the better.
The Details
Each participating fund is entitled to 100% of the donations designated towards their fund, plus a proportionate amount of the available match dollars. This proportionate match is subject to a $5,000 limit.
For example, if a fund receives 5% of total community donations on Match Week, then that fund would receive 5% of the total match amount, which is $3,500. If it received 10% of the total community donations on Match Week, then it would be limited to the $5,000 limit for each fund. At the end of match week, any extra match week funds will be dispersed proportionately as available.
