The Republic County Community Foundation has been accepted to receive a $300,000 matching grant from the second chapter of the Kansas Health Foundation’s Giving Resources to our World (GROW II) Healthy Kansas Initiative. New endowed gifts to RCCF through the end of 2015 are matched at a rate of 1-to-2, or $1 match for every $2 of new gifts, and some are matched at the rate of 1-to-4, or $1 match for every $4 of new gifts. Matching dollars earned by RCCF will go towards a public health fund to benefit Republic County as well as an administrative fund to support the Foundation’s efforts.
