GIFT Phase VII is Lilly Endowment Inc.’s newest matching program for community foundations. 

Through the GIFT VII  matching program,  gifts to unrestricted funds will be matched  $2 for $1.  For example, a gift of $100 will be matched with $200 and become a $300 gift!  

Gifts to existing (or new) restricted funds will be matched $.50 for every $ 1.  A gift of $100 becomes $150.

Unrestricted funds enable the Community Foundation to respond to the changing needs of our community.
