Matching Challenge Update

I wanted to share some good news with you about the $40,000 matching challenge I wrote about two weeks ago.  The response to my emails have been positive, and we are making good progress toward our goal of raising $80,000 before the end of the year.

Thanks to the generosity of our supporters – moms and dads, grandmas and grandpas of Illinois – we have raised 38 percent of our goal thus far.

But we still have a long way to go. We still need to raise a little more than $24,000 over the next five days in order to realize the full matching challenge.

Any donation given or mailed by December 31st will go toward this matching challenge and will be fully tax-deductible, lowering your 2014 tax burden.

If you haven’t already, please consider IFI in your year-end giving. Every donation – small, medium or large small – brings us closer to our goal.
