Fowler Action Committee Foundation Raises roughly $10,000 for Meade County During Match Month

This impressive total was achieved through a strong partnership with the Patterson Family Foundation and the combined efforts of local donors, businesses, and community organizations. Match Month demonstrates the power of collaboration and community spirit in supporting local causes. This event takes place every year in the month of October.

Fowler Action Committee Foundation’s Role and Contributions

The Fowler Action Committee Foundation focused on rallying support from individual donors, the Fowler Legacy Foundation, and many local companies. Their direct fundraising efforts brought in $10,000, which was a vital part of the overall $100,000+ raised. This money will support various programs and projects that benefit Meade County residents. Fowler Action Committee will use funds on the upcoming school yard renovation (pickleball courts, lighting, fence renovation, seating/shade).

How Match Month Works and Its Impact on Meade County

Match Month is a special fundraising campaign designed to encourage donations by matching contributions from local foundations and donors. This matching system motivates individuals and organizations to give more, knowing their donations will have double the impact. For Meade County, this means more resources for community projects, social services, and local development initiatives.

The Patterson Family Foundation partnered with the Meade Community Foundation to maximize the funds raised. Their combined efforts helped unlock matching funds that significantly increased the total amount raised. This collaboration shows how foundations and community groups can work together to create meaningful change.
