Magnolia Love Match Campaign

Double the Impact of Your Magnolia Love Match Donation
Give NOW before February 28th to take advantage of this generous opportunity

AMAZING Valentine’s Day Gift to Support Magnolia Better Together/Reimagine Magnolia Village

The Reimagine Magnolia Village project has an immensely generous anonymous donor who has offered to match any future donations up to $25,000. The donor has one request: For those excited to double their gift through this amazing match, donations must happen during the month February. Now is the time to celebrate the month of love, hearts and flowers. Show your love by making a Magnolia Love Match gift in February to double your support expanding streetscape improvements to McGraw Street West between 33rd and 34th Avenue West.

The Magnolia Love Match fundraising opportunity is perfect timing. Residents, friends, and family have even more incentive to pull together and make our neighborhood a great place to work, live, and thrive. This fantastic chance to double your investment in the Village is exactly what our beautification project is all about. Together, we help support improving sidewalk safety and adding more amenities like tables, chairs, umbrellas, refurbished benches and new decorative poles festooned with stunning flower baskets and inspirational banners. The community has already demonstrated its enormous heart in Phase I of the Reimagine Magnolia Village project. With your Magnolia Love Match gift in February - that will DOUBLE your investment due to our generous donor - we will be well on our way to raising the needed funds to launch Phases II and III. What an incredible and indelible Valentine’s Day special!

Our donor has specified a deadline of February 28th for the Magnolia Love Match campaign. If we all pitch in and double our gifts, we can raise the $25,000 and be well on our way to reaching the $305,000 goal for Phases II and III.

We are truly humbled by this offer from one of our wonderful Magnolia neighbors. The donor is not only a longtime resident, but also a huge supporter of making a difference for all of us who love our Magnolia community. The donor is excited to encourage and incentivize even more donors to support Phases II and III of the project.

Another bonus. Please remember that every donation to the project is now tax deductible due to our new nonprofit, Magnolia Better Together. All the dollars raised in the Magnolia Love Match campaign go directly towards making our Magnolia Village the best it can be for providing the outdoor dining and social gathering experiences that support our vibrant small business community. The Reimagine Magnolia Village project and Magnolia Love Match campaign have one goal in mind. Creating a community-based atmosphere in the Village that we can all be proud of while attracting neighbors, friends, and visitors to shop, dine, and relax.

Please share this time sensitive, yet lucrative matching donation offer with all your neighbors and friends. Show your love, engage in the Magnolia Love Match campaign by February 28th, and double your generous gift. Donate here.
Thank YOU and Appreciation to our Generous Business Community
Keeping in the theme of showing the love for Magnolia Village and the power of giving back and paying it forward, cheers and gratitude to our local businesses who are supporting the Reimagine Magnolia Village project. In chatting with Magnolia merchants and business/organization leaders, these generous men and women understand how important it is to improve the “curb appeal” of the Magnolia Village business district. They know a vibrantly engaging Village is one of the essential elements for the long-term success of our local businesses. The streetscape improvements already completed and those planned help build community pride and attract more shoppers and customers to the Village. Fundraising for Phases II and III of the project is ongoing and needs support. Our local business community is excited to partner, invest, and help complete and maintain all five phases in the months and years ahead.
