Got a Match? We Now Do!

Special Thanks to our Generous Donors and the Fremont Area Community Foundation for the Match Day!

The library received $6,182 in community contributions that were matched by The Fremont Area Community Foundation and The Gerber Foundation for a total of over $16,000!

Newaygo County residents responded generously to the Fremont Area Community Foundation’s September 17 Match Day Challenge. Overall 1,055 donors came to the Foundation and contributed over $400,000 to 54 area non-profits. 

“We are awestruck by the caring and giving spirit of our community,” said Libby Cherin, Foundation President. “Today was a highlight of my two decades of Foundation work. We heard many stories of donors who wanted to help others and were willing to give of their resources.”

On September 18, the Foundation Board met and increased its original match from $150,000 to match the entire amount given by the community. “Our Board wanted to respond to Match Day’s community generosity, and fortunately we were able to,” said Foundation Chairperson Danielle Merrill.

Library Director Ray Arnett commented that “in this time of economic hardship and struggles in our state, the generosity of our donors was amazing! The library truly appreciates every gift and the sacrifice that those gifts represent. These unexpected funds will provide a wonderful boost to our book budget and other areas within the library that directly impact our members.”

Match Day gifts to the library ranged from $1 to $1,500 from 50 different donors. The library received its check from the Foundation on October 16th and the Library Board has already approved the purchase of an additional “Early Literacy Station” for the Children’s department and the allocation of additional funds to purchase books, CDs, and DVDs this coming year.

For more information on the match day, visit the Fremont Area Community Foundation.
