The Foundation invites women of all ages in the community to join us for Girl's Night Out this Thursday, February 4th.  We'll enjoy the movie Shall We Dance in the historic Fowler Theatre at 7 pm.  Along with spending a great evening with your friends and family, you'll also be introduced to The Cookie Jar...a women's giving circle the Foundation has just launched.  Did I mention the entire evening was free??  Hope to see you on Thursday!

The Benton Community Foundation Board of Directors is pleased to announce that through the close of 2009 we will be offering a match on your donations…enabling you to make an even bigger impact in your community. Any gift of $1,000 or more to a permanently endowed fund at the Foundation will qualify for a match of 50 cents for every dollar donated.      Ex: If a donor gives $2,000, the Foundation will add an additional $1,000 to the fund of the donor’s choice. This match offer will expire on December 31, 2009 or when the match allotment is fully expended, whichever occurs first.  No more than $5,000 match will be allocated to any one donor.  Donations will be accepted in the form of cash or publicly-traded securities. Donors contributing $5,000 or more may elect to create a new endowment fund supporting the charitable interest of their choice. For more information, please contact Ashley Bice, Executive Director at 765.884.8022 or via email to ashley@bentoncf.org.
