Even a gift of $25 will be matched, and provide one lesson for an aspiring student in your local area. Matching Funds will be awarded on a "first gift, first match" basis. The matching program will end as soon as the $1 Million of match funds are gone. With dozens of organization eligible to participate in this challenge, the matching funds will go quickly!Beginning August 18, at 10:00 a.m. gifts for the Community Foundation Challenge can be made online to support Sphinx and other participating arts and cultural organizations.
