Minot Area Community Foundation Announces Match Madness

Minot Area Community Foundation (MACF) is thrilled to announce Match Madness, an exciting initiative designed as a year-long celebration that strengthens our local nonprofits and our community as a whole. As part of our 25th Anniversary Celebration, we are launching PHASE ONE: Endowment Matches — a unique opportunity for nonprofits and donors to maximize their impact through matching funds.

In Phase One of Match Madness, we are committing $150,000 to fuel endowment growth through strategic matching opportunities:

 $100,000 Existing Agency Endowment Match

• 20 existing MACF agency funds will each have the opportunity to receive a $5,000 match when they raise $5,000+ in new money (organizations may not use operating reserves).

• This dollar-for-dollar match helps nonprofits build financial sustainability and secure their futures.

 $25,000 New Agency Endowment Match

• The first five non-profit organizations that establish a NEW agency endowment fund with at least $5,000 will receive a $5,000 match. This must also be new money (organizations may not use operating reserves).

• This is a unique opportunity to strengthen your financial future by creating an endowment that will enhance long-term sustainability for your organization's mission.

 $25,000 New Individual Donor-Advised Endowment Fund (DAF) Match

• The first five individuals to create a new Donor-Advised Endowment Fund (DAF) with $5,000+ will receive a $5,000 match to jumpstart their philanthropic giving.
