On All Aboard Atchison match day, the gift(s) you make to any of the participating non-profit organizations will have a bigger impact! Your donation will go directly into the organization's fund with Atchison Area Community Foundation. The organization will receive a 60% match on your gift that they can use where they need it the most!
Some organizations choose to let this money remain in their fund. Some will use a portion of the money for immediate operating needs. Either way, you can feel good knowing your gift has made a bigger, more positive difference for that charity!
