MCF’s Charitable Funds Raise More than $1.68 Million During Matching Charitable Program

Midlands Community Foundation (MCF) is pleased to announce that 102 of the 190 charitable funds under its non-profit umbrella took advantage of MCF’s Matching Charitable Program. The program, sponsored by MCF, raised more than $1.68 million from Giving Tuesday, December 2, 2025, through January 5, 2026, with $637,219 qualifying for matching funds from MCF.

Under the Matching Charitable Program, MCF provided matching funds for NEW contributions made to existing and newly created Affiliated General, Designated, Donor Advised, Field of Interest and Scholarship Funds. Matching donations were made on a dollar-for-dollar basis up to a limit of $5,000 per individual donor, and subject to a maximum of $100,000 of matching dollars being available for all Funds. Because more than $100,000 was contributed to all Funds, the matching dollars were pro-rated among such donors based on the total contributions made.

“Every year, the Match Program serves as a powerful reminder of what’s possible when we collaborate,” said Diane Knicky, MCF Executive Director. “We’re proud to make this opportunity available to our more than 190 charitable funds, and we’re continually inspired by what they’re able to achieve through it. Their dedication to engaging supporters and advancing their missions is what truly drives the program’s success, and we’re thankful to play a role in expanding their positive impact.”

The mission of Midlands Community Foundation is to be a catalyst for lasting impact in Sarpy and Cass counties and to give opportunities to organizations and individuals to pursue their charitable goals.
