Each of the agencies will receive $.50 for each $1 raised for their endowments! Agencies received more than $267,000 in total match funds towards their endowments, helping to ensure they can sustain their critical work for the future.

Congratulations to the following agencies. We’re proud to support these the work they do in Monroe County today and forever!

With support from the Lilly Endowment, Inc., the Community Foundation launched this matching opportunity for nonprofits to create or build endowments in 2019. Local nonprofits were invited to apply for this opportunity. All agencies that applied were invited to participate. The participating nonprofits raised funds from February 1, 2019, through January 31, 2020.
