		About the GROW II Campaign Matching Rates Qualified Matching Funds What is GROW II? The Smith County Community Foundation has been accepted to receive a matching grant from the second chapter of the Kansas Health Foundation's Giving Resources to our World (GROW) Healthy Kansas initiative. GROW II is a $300,000 matching grant over the course of six years in which new gifts for endowment are matched using a two-tiered matching ration. Some gifts are matched at the rate of 1-to-2, or $1 match for every $2 of new gifts, and some gifts are matched at the rate of 1-to-4, or $1 of match for every $4 of new gifts. All gifts of any size are welcome. Matching Rates What are the matching rates? New endowed gifts are matched using a two-tiered matching ratio of either a 1-to-2 match or a 1-to-4 match. A 1-to-2 match rate is paid for any endowed gift towards an operating (administrative) fund, unrestricted grant-making fund, or public health fund. A 1-to-4 match rate is paid for all other endowed gifts, with the exception of scholarship funds, which are not matched unless the fund is established as a designated fund at the community foundation for scholarship programs at one or more educational institutions.
