Match Madness Intent to Participate – Wabash Valley Community Foundation

Match Madness

Purpose

Agency Endowment Matching is a way to support nonprofit organizations and agencies in building endowments in the Wabash Valley. Agency Endowment funds invest in the mission and the future of a nonprofit organization or agency by providing general operating support, stability during cyclical income variances and income for areas of high importance to the organization or agency.

Agency Endowments are opened by nonprofit organizations or agencies wishing to establish a fund that is kept in perpetuity at the Wabash Valley Community Foundation. Annually, this fund provides an ongoing stream of revenue generated by the investment of the principal.

Eligibility

A physical location of the organization or agency based in Clay, Sullivan or Vigo counties and serves residents of Clay, Sullivan or Vigo counties.
Interested organizations and agencies must have attended one of the Match Madness Informational Sessions hosted by the Wabash Valley Community Foundation.
Participation in Match Madness must have been presented to and approved by the governing board of directors of the interested organization or agency.
Preference will be given to new agency funds or for the growth of smaller existing funds.
