THANK YOU TO ALL WHO DONATED TO THE PRAIRIE GODMOTHER FUNDS!
Giving Tuesday Was a Huge Success!
 
The fourth annual #GivingTuesday took place December 1, 2015, and The Prairie Godmother Funds participated through the Golden Belt Community Foundation. There were more than 65 endowments that participated, and the cumulative results are astounding:

PRAIRIE GODMOTHERS RESULTS:
Total Gifts - $19,249.50 (endowed)
Matching Funds - $6,447.45 (endowed)
Number of Donors - 119

These funds were collected through a total of 119 individual gifts. We were FIRST out of all funds that participated for "Most Funds Raised", beating the 2nd place fund by only $64.50. This just goes to show how important each and every donation really is! One person could've tipped the scales!  Since we were in first place, we received a special incentive grant for $1,000 that will be placed directly into our grant fund to help women in Barton County.
