Skokie Community Fund Supports Village of Skokie Community Giving Program with Challenge Grant for Third Consecutive Year

The Skokie Community Fund is supporting Skokie’s families-in-need by offering its third consecutive challenge grant to the Village of Skokie’s Community Giving Program.

After donations to the Community Giving Program reach $25,000, the Fund will match all subsequent donations dollar-for-dollar up to $10,000. The potential $45,000 total donation will provide significant assistance to qualifying families.

“We are honored to work together with the community to provide this assistance again in 2013. We look forward to many more collaborations with the people of Skokie as the Fund begins its work in Skokie,” said Executive Director, Kristin Winter.
