Incoming donations into this endowment fund were eligible for a $1 for $1 match up to $50,000 during the month of December in 2016. In December 2017 and 2018, incoming donations were once again matched $1 to $1 up to $50,000 by the Hansen Foundation, and an additional match was offered by Stanion Wholesale Electric Company / the Bill and Cindy Keller Family.
