It's Annie B's Fundraising Time Again!

Dear Friends,

How can your dollar be worth more than a dollar?

When you make a donation to Work Training Center through the Annie B’s Community Drive, we can take advantage of an incredible grant program from North Valley Community Foundation (NVCF).

This is how it works:
North Valley Community Foundation has committed to granting $100,000 each year for the next five years to our local nonprofits. In order to receive a portion of these funds, WTC needs to raise money from August 1st through September 30th. Your donations are to be sent to NVCF and earmarked for WTC. You will make the check out to “Annie B’s/WTC”.

One hundred percent of the money raised for WTC through Annie B’s Community Drive will go to assist and support people with disabilities as they achieve increased independence in work and leisure, thereby enhancing the quality of their lives. After September 30th, NVCF will tally the total amount raised by all participating nonprofits and determine the percentage grant amounts that will be given.

For example: Last year, the collective nonprofits raised over $700,000, making last year’s matching grant 14%. WTC raised $6420, and received a matching grant of $892.

This year, our goal is to raise $25,000!
This would result in a 14% matching grant of $3,500!!

Donations must be received between August 1st and October 30th to be eligible for the grant program. NVCF is very flexible in the donations that can be accepted. Checks are most commonly used for donations, but NVCF also accepts gift of stocks or equities, and can even accept gifts of real estate or other personal property of value.
