Norton County Community Foundation

Did you know that NCCF pays $50,000 each year to maintain the recreational water levels at Sebelius Lake?! This year, we need your help! Learn more at nortonccf.org/securesebelius… and consider making a donation on MATCH DAY so your impact goes further!

These 85 donors raised $80,715 for local grants during Match Month! This goes to the Grant Endowment, which is a "forever fund" - meaning the grant program will continue on in Norton County! THANK YOU! Your generosity and support make a huge difference!

Love how accessible these open-faced bookshelves are for little readers! Awesome grant project by NCCF! This is the "why" behind Match Month - so we can continue awarding funds to meaningful projects in Norton County, just like this one! nortonccf.org/matchmonth

We’ve delivered yard signs to places in Norton County that have received grant funding in recent years. Your gift to Match Month ensures NCCF's grant program lasts forever! Donations in November will be matched TWICE, thanks to our matching donors. nortonccf.org/matchmonth

November is here, and that means our 9th annual Match Month is too! With matching opportunities from the Dane G. Hansen Foundation and the Patterson Family Foundation, NCCF has set a goal to raise $70,000! Learn more and donate online here: nortonccf.org/matchmonth

Wanted to share this thank you note we received from a Special Olympics Athlete after we awarded a grant to support the NWKS Clinic, which took place earlier this month. Love it!

OCTOBER IS NATIONAL ESTATE PLANNING AWARENESS MONTH (And it's not as scary as it sounds.) Your estate plan can also be used to support charitable causes that matter most to you! Contact us to learn about the services we can provide through our partnership with John Griffin!

Between your donations and a generous match from the Jim & Lida Sharp Family, $147,865.38 was raised for Norton County nonprofits and charitable funds during the 5 for 5 Match Program!
