Matching Gift Challenge
The World Affairs Council of Jacksonville has received a challenge from a Board member who is willing to match contributions to build an endowment for speaker programs. The State, through UNF, will make a similar match, essentially doubling individual contributions made prior to December 31, 2008. Our goal is to create a $1 million endowment which will generate over $40,000 per year to support Council speaker programs. Please support this important step in ensuring our long-term viability and service to this community.
