The event was sponsored by the Greater Sabetha Community Foundation which is a vehicle for people of all means to make a lasting difference in their local community. All donations are tax deductible and help fund local projects or existing nonprofits. GSCF was established less than one year ago and is operated by a 13 member board of directors and currently has an asset base of over $1.5 million. GSCF is an affiliate of Greater Manhattan Community Foundation. GSCF can assist other organizations or people with ideas for community projects as well as help individuals establish donor advised funds which allows a donor to make a charitable contribution, receive an immediate tax benefit and make personal planned giving decisions over time.
GSCF will hold a Community Celebration Gala on January 14 to honor the organizations in the area and celebrate the first GIVE TO GROW Match Day.
