New LUM Endowment & Match Opportunity

Richard C. & Betty M. Nelson

The Community Foundation of Greater Lafayette announced a new endowment and gift matching opportunity to support the LUM 5th Quarter Summer Learning Program. Richard C. & Betty M. Nelson have generously offered to match dollar-for-dollar, gifts of $1,000 or greater for an endowment named in honor of the Nelsons.

The Nelsons said, “Others enriched and encouraged us, and shaped our young lives. We are thankful that now we can share some of our assets to benefit children of future generations.

This is an exciting opportunity to sustain one of the most important LUM programs for many, many years. Please consider investing in the success of local children by taking advantage of this match program for the LUM 5th Quarter Summer Learning Program. LUM is grateful to the Nelsons for their generosity and The Community Foundation of Greater Lafayette for their continued support of LUM.

Gifts will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis until matching funds are accounted for or, through July 15, 2023, whichever comes first. Gifts of $10,000 or greater qualify for a named endowment. To participate in this match opportunity, please email or call Candy Silver with The Foundation (candy@inspiringgreater.org | 765-742-9078) regarding the types of gifts that are eligible for this matching program.
