Ballard P-Patch Purchase Update
Generous challenge grant could carry us far along our garden path
|
|
Our recent Purchase and Sale agreement was big news. It’s a significant milestone because it makes the purchase process official. However, we’re not done! On the contrary, it really means that our fundraising effort is now in full swing.
To carry us significantly towards our $1.95 million goal, an anonymous Friend of P-Patches has issued a $100k challenge grant. The Friend will match donations or pledges of $10,000 minimum, up to a total of $100,000. For details, read more about how the challenge grant works.
