Doubling Up on the 1K Challenge
A second anonymous donor has stepped forward to issue yet another 1K Challenge. Citing the desire to “do as much as we can”, this new challenge will make it possible for the REAS Foundation (on your behalf), to help an additional five qualifying Sturbridge seniors with energy costs.
For every donation received (regardless of size), in direct response to this additional 1K Challenge, the sponsor of this challenge will match it dollar for dollar, up to a grand total of one thousand dollars. As was our practice with the previous 1K Challenge, the REAS Foundation will only count those donations specifically designated as 1K donations towards this new challenge. This enables us to maintain the spirit of the 1K Challenge.
In response to this challenge, we will be implementing a new graph on the front page of our website, which will display a figure representing a senior for each $400 received in combined donations. This amount represents the mid-range grant award issued by the REAS Foundation on your behalf.
So, let the challenge begin and let’s see just how quickly we can get those figures up on our front page.
