5th Grade Program

Thanks to the generosity of several donors, all Saline County 5th graders can participate at Match Madness. Each 5th grader is given $10 to donate to the nonprofit of their choice at the Salina Fieldhouse.

Before the event the students are given information about Match Madness, learn how an endowment works and why it's important to give back to charity.

When the students arrive at the Fieldhouse, they will get to visit 10-15 nonprofit booths to learn about the mission of each nonprofit and how it impacts the community. After they are done visiting the booths, each student gets to fill out a donation form and pick which nonprofit their $10 supports.

Each $10 donation is matched up to 50%, meaning their $10 donation could grow to $15.

The best part is that their $10 donation will always be held in that nonprofit's permanent endowed fund, growing while making grants at the same time.

That's the power of endowment!

Thank you to our 5th Grade Sponsors!
