Match Day Season is here!

The Community Foundation of Shelby County’s Match Day is a unique opportunity to multiply your impact across many critical areas. Your gift will uplift lives throughout Shelby County.

Even more impactful, your gift will be matched dollar for dollar, up to the first $5,000 total per organization. Last year, every participating nonprofit reached that goal — and many exceeded it — directing even more funds toward their vital missions.

Your support can help provide warm clothing for local children, stock food pantries to feed hungry families, provide a safe space for victims of domestic violence, equip medical service providers with lifesaving equipment, contribute to the vibrancy and renewal of our downtown communities, and much more.

The Match Day program is administered by the Community Foundation of Shelby County and made possible through the generosity of donors including Evie Bensman, Nick and Mary Bensman, Ed Borchers, John and Julia Frantz, Dave and Ann Monnier, Dave Ross, John and Jeannette Sargeant Fund, and Ken and Brenda Schlater.
