The words “grow” and “green” are perfectly suited for Earth Day, which is next Thursday, April 22, so it’s fitting that the 9th annual Grow Green Match Day was purposely planned to coincide with a day designed to increase environmental awareness. On Match Day, “green” donations made through the Greater Manhattan Community Foundation to participating non-profit agencies will “grow” with a 50 percent match.
The 9th annual Grow Green Match Day on Thursday, April 22, is a tremendous opportunity for the Manhattan community and Meadowlark Foundation. On that day, donations made through the Greater Manhattan Community Foundation to participating nonprofit agencies will receive a 50% match!
Meadowlark Foundation is joining 69 other local organizations in urging our donors to participate. With COVID-19 turning our world upside down and organizations entering a period of recovery, GMCF is repeating the Grow Green procedures that were introduced in 2020:
