The Green Bay Packers Foundation has awarded Encompass an Impact Grant that will match gifts to the Oconto Falls Center Campaign dollar-for-dollar up to $250,000.
This matching grant challenge will double donations received on or after June 19 the nonprofit child-care agency’s Oconto Falls Center campaign.
The campaign is currently at 70% of its goal, and Encompass officials said donations matched by the Packers pledge can put the project over the top. The Green Bay-based nonprofit opened the center June 10 at 650 E. Jackson St., Oconto Falls.
The Foundation announced June 19 a total of $1.75 million in impact grants to ten nonprofit organizations serving Brown, Dane and Milwaukee counties.
A record total amount awarded at one time for the Impact Grant Program, which first began in 2013, the grants are aimed at directing significant funds toward organizations that serve their communities each day.
“From education, mentoring and community building programs to providing care and support for our most vulnerable neighbors, the grant recipients will create direct and lasting impacts throughout the state of Wisconsin,” said Packers President/CEO Mark Murphy.
