PLAYA Announces $25,000 Matching Grant
All gifts matched until we reach our goal
PLAYA has been generously awarded a $25,000 challenge grant from the Maybelle Clark Macdonald Fund to strengthen its fundraising capacity and expand support for its residency and public programs as the organization marks its 15th anniversary year.
This May, the grant will match contributions of $2,500 or less. This grant will have a meaningful impact on PLAYA’s operations and its ability to provide sustained, place-based residencies and experiences in a region of significant ecological importance. It also supports ongoing efforts to build long-term financial resilience and deepen community investment in the organization’s mission.
