Give to Grow
ANNUAL EVENT: APRIL
Give to Grow is a one-day matching initiative aimed at increasing visibility, sustainability, and long-term endowment growth for area non-profits. Donor gifts received during the event are matched proportionately, up to 100% from SVCF's match pool. After years of support for our own Match Month, we are thrilled to now be able to provide this same opportunity to our Organization Funds to help them grow their own endowments.
