Donations can be made on Tuesday, Oct. 15, to 501C3 nonprofit organizations as part of the annual Geary Community Match Day.
For donations of $25 or more a match of 50 cents on the dollar will be provided up to $1,000 per individual and $7,500 per nonprofit. Match funds are being provided by R2B4, Central Charities Foundation, Crosby Family Foundation and the Hoover-Koken Foundation.
Fifty-seven 501 C3 nonprofit organizations have signed up to participate in the daylong event. Donations can be made at the Junction City Municipal Building Gymnasium, online at gearymatchday.com or by mail postmarked by Oct. 15 to P.O. Box 411. On the latter option you can print off a giving form from the website where you can list the organizations receiving contributions and the amount before mailing the form. Include only one check to GGCF for the total donation.
More than 40 tables manned by representatives of participating organizations have been set up at the Municipal Building Gymnasium where you can get your questions answered.
