A $40,000 challenge grant from the Collins Foundation was awarded to Jacksonville Community Center (JCC) on August 11th, 2016. Cynthia Addams, Collins Foundation CEO stated, “The Jacksonville community residents’ dreams of a new, expanded center… will help continue our tradition of improving the quality of life in Oregon communities.”
This grant now enables the community to turn $40,000 into $80,000 since the Collins Foundation Challenge will double donations, making for a true win-win challenge. JCC is calling upon the community to help build the dream with tax-deductible donations. JCC is a 501 (c) 3 charitable non-profit organization, and with tax season just around the corner, this is a great time to consider a donation.
Challenge Grants do come with a ticking clock and the Jacksonville Community Center has until December 1st to receive the $40,000 donations from residents, businesses, clubs and others in order to receive the Collins Foundation’s matching $40,000 funding. If successful, the total amount of $80,000 will bring JCC significantly closer to building and furnishing a larger center at 160 E. Main Street. Matching donations must be received between now and December 1st, 2016 to meet the conditions of the Collins Matching Challenge Grant.
With your help, the dream of so many Jacksonville and area residents will be realized for a large, multi-use community center, surely to be a cultural and activity focal point of town.
