During a 24-hour virtual matching fundraiser, local nonprofit organizations will be able to receive 100% of the donations given by the community.
The Greater Manhattan Community Foundation will accept donations for its eighth annual GROW Green Match Day from midnight to 11:59 p.m. Wednesday online or through mailed-in checks.
The fundraiser helps raise money for 65 local organizations, ranging from arts-based to healthcare-based, to support their immediate and long-term needs. In previous years, community donations typically were put into the organization’s endowment fund at the foundation while it could use the 50% match from GMCF for immediate operating costs.
