FAQs
Q. Is NCCF hosting Match Day this year?
Not this year! Instead, we are offering this 5 for 5 Match Program to new and existing funds.
Q. Will you ever host Match Day again?
Good question! We have loved offering Match Day to Norton County for the last several years. This new 5 for 5 Match Program aligns with the strategic goals put forth by NCCF’s Staff and Board for this year. We’ll see what the future brings!
Q. How do I open a fund?
Schedule a time to meet with us and discuss your ideas and goals. We’ll help determine the best type of fund and then get to work drafting the Establishing Documents. From there, it’s straightforward and doesn’t take very long!
Q. What if I don’t have a fund and I don’t want to open one? Can you still help me with funding?
We understand! If you need funding for your organization/charitable project, please apply for our grant program. You must be a 501c3, or a governmental, educational, or religious entity. Our committee reviews applications every month. Learn more and apply here.
Q. I want to participate but I don't know how to raise $5,000!
There are a lot of ways to raise money. Let's schedule a time to chat and we'll help you brainstorm! And remember, you can still participate and not raise the full $5,000. If you only raise $2,000 for example, we'll still match that! $5,000 is just the maximum amount we'll match.
Q. I want to donate to groups participating. How do I find them?
As groups sign up to participate in 5 for 5, they are listed in the section above. Each participant is given an online donation link through our website (click on their logo above to visit the link.) But keep in mind that each group is organizing and hosting their own fundraisers this year, so you'll need to contact them directly to find out what their specific plans are (if they're hosting an event, etc.). We recommend following them on Facebook or calling someone you know in the group! If you need a contact for a particular fund, please contact us via email or by calling the office at 785-874-5106.
