The Bucyrus Area Community Foundation (BACF) held its annual Match Day event November 17. On that day, any money raised by organizations that had endowment funds with the foundation was matched $0.50 for every dollar raised by that organization. Although the foundation’s goal of $50,000 was not met, $35,000 was considered a much needed boost to local non profits by BACF executive director, Janet Pry.

No matter the size or location, local charities and non-profit organizations across America are struggling in today’s rough economy, and although the desired outcomes of each may be slightly different, the main challenges and obstacles each organization faces seems to be the same. Several questions arise, such as how do we provide funding when the finances just aren’t there to work with anymore or how do we let people know we’re still here? Unfortunately, Crawford County is not exempt from the current, unfortunate economic situation and is finding that more and more local groups are presented with the same challenges (as those on a global scale) and are being forced to sit down and examine the same types of difficult questions.
