2023 Grow Green Match Day

Thank you, Manhattan! It is a joy to share the news of our community’s resounding generosity during this year’s Grow Green Match Day. Together, we surpassed all expectations, raising more than $2 million to support the activities of our outstanding community charitable causes. The support and generosity of 1,730 unique donors have propelled these programs to a brighter and more prosperous future, supporting transformative initiatives to uplift our community for a lasting change. 
 
I would be remiss if I did not acknowledge the exceptional support of Phil Howe and the Howe Family Foundation, whose matching gift of $476,808 has once again made an unforgettable impact. Mr. Howe’s commitment to giving back has set a new benchmark for community engagement, and his generosity serves as a beacon of inspiration for us all.
 
The success of Grow Green Match Day is a testament to the power of collective action and the unwavering commitment of our community. Regardless of the amount contributed, every donor has played a vital role in this achievement. We have proven that when we unite with a shared purpose, we can achieve extraordinary results that surpass our wildest dreams. 
 
I want to express my deepest gratitude to the donors who embraced the vision of a stronger, more vibrant community. Your generosity, compassion, and belief in the power of community have touched the lives of countless individuals. Your contributions will have a lasting impact for positive change for future generations. Together, we will continue to grow, thrive, and create a community we are all proud of.
