Match Month Total!

The Washington County Community Foundation held a Match Month in May. Generous local donors provided a matching pool of $8,500 for donations to the Washington County Opportunity Fund. This is an unrestricted grant fund which supports charitable projects throughout the county. Additionally, the Patterson Family Foundation is providing a 100% match for all funds. During the month of May, donors gave a total of $24,350, benefiting 8 different funds at the foundation. With the local match pool as well as the Patterson Family Foundation match, the total community impact is $57,200! "It was a great match month," stated Bill Slater, Board Chairperson. "Thank you to all who donated!"

The Washington County Community Foundation board extends a heartfelt thank you to all match month donors including the local businesses who provided matching dollars: Central Valley Ag, Herrs Machine Hydrostatics, Citizens State Bank-Hanover, Union State Bank, and Blue Valley Insurance. A special thank you also goes to the Patterson Family Foundation for their generous support of the foundation. The Patterson Family Foundation is a family-led, non-profit foundation continuing the legacy of Neal and Jeanne Patterson whose mission is advancing health care, education, and strengthening communities especially in rural areas in Kansas and western Missouri.
