(KNZA)--The South Brown County Community Foundation's fifth annual Match Days fundraiser begins Tuesday and runs through Thursday during the Brown County Fair.
Community members can make donations in person each evening from 4:30 until 7:30 at the Horton Blue Building. Donations can also be made online through Grow South Brown beginning Tuesday and continuing through midnight Thursday.
The foundation says Match Days give residents an opportunity to support local nonprofit organizations while stretching the value of every donation.
This year, 29 match sponsors have provided at least 75-thousand dollars in matching funds. A total of 48 nonprofit organizations serving Everest, Horton, the Kickapoo Reservation, Powhattan, and Willis are participating.
Donations will be matched at 50 cents on the dollar on a first-come, first-served basis until matching funds are exhausted.
Last year's Match Days raised nearly 156-thousand dollars in community donations. With matching funds included, the event generated more than 233-thousand dollars to benefit South Brown County nonprofits.
