The Wet Mountain Valley Community Foundation announces its annual Community Spirit Matching campaign to benefit local nonprofit organizations each November.

The Foundation will contribute matching funds, augmented by donations from other foundations and individuals. Matching donations are used to match private contributions made to valley nonprofits when received by December 31 of each year.

Donors wishing to take advantage of matching funds for their favorite local organizations must use the donor form found in select November issues of the Wet Mountain Valley Tribune, or use the downloadable form below. Please DO NOT use the previous year's form. Make checks out to the Wet Mountain Valley Community Foundation (or WMVCF), and please note the nonprofit organization and the amount you wish to go to that organization on the donor form.

The maximum amount that will be matched is $500 per family and/or business. You are welcome to spread your donation to more than one nonprofit, or just one -- it's your call.

Matching funds will be pro-rated based on the dollar total of contributions made through the campaign.

Donations may also be made directly to the Community Foundation Spirit Campaign to increase the matching funds and further stretch the community’s charitable dollars.

Donations to churches through the Spirit Campaign are not allowed under IRS regulations.
