Trust receives two challenge grants - one for $25,000 and one for $50,000

The Trust has had two donors step forward to offer challenges to the community in the form of challenge-grants. The donors are seeking new and existing donors to meet this challenge. The challenge will match any new 2011 dollars above what 2010 donors gave and, new donors will be matched dollar for dollar until the $25,000 and $50,000 are reached. Of course we’d be delighted if donations exceed the challenges. If you have any questions please call the Trust’s executive director, Michael Skinner @ 828/631-1062. The Trust appreciates the support of every donor.
