WHAT IS GIVE TO GROW?

Give to Grow is a one-day matching event organized by the Solomon Valley Community Foundation, aimed at empowering Mitchell County nonprofits. Designed to boost the long-term capacity of organizations, the event focuses on growing endowments through matching donations. In addition to financial support, Give to Grow provides a platform for nonprofits to network, share their missions, and increase visibility.

As a result of years of successful November Match Month campaigns and with the support of the Patterson Family Foundations, SVCF has set aside matching funds for qualifying Mitchell County nonprofits participating in this year's Give to Grow event.

WHEN & WHERE?

HOW IT WORKS: DONORS

Donors select organization endowment(s) to support in person at the Give to Grow event on April 22nd or by mail or online anytime between April 20th and midnight on the 22nd. Gifts will be added to the principal of the selected organization's endowed fund at SVCF and are restricted to the 5% spendable rule.

Donor gifts will be matched proportionally, up to 100% from SVCF's matching pool. No single organization can receive more than half of the total match.

There is no minimum donation amount. Gifts will be matched up to $1,500 per person per organization or $3,000 per household.

HOW IT WORKS: NONPROFITS

Qualifying nonprofits register to be a part of the Give to Grow event.

They receive gifts from donors that are matched by SVCF proportionally up to 100% from a matching pool.

Gifts from donors are automatically added to the principal of their endowment fund. However, organizations may choose how to receive their matching dollars earned:

Option 1: Cash grant for immediate use. Only applicable if the fund has a balance of $10,000 or higher.
Option 2: Invest it in the organization's fund at SVCF

WHO CAN PARTICIPATE?

Mitchell County nonprofits that qualify to receive a match must hold either an Organization, Designated, or Field of Interest fund with Solomon Valley Community Foundation. A participation agreement is required to register for the event. For more information on becoming a qualified nonprofit, contact SCVF's Executive Director, Julia Rabe.
