The Grunin Foundation to Match Third-Party Fundraiser Contributions During the Holiday Season up to $50,000
Neptune, NJ – Fulfill, the Food Bank of Monmouth and Ocean Counties, announced that every dollar contributed through a third-party fundraiser during the holiday season will be matched up to $50,000, thanks to a generous donation from the Grunin Foundation.
The matching donation allows Fulfill to maximize the benefit from third-party fundraisers, which are organized by members of the community to support Fulfill. Upcoming fundraisers include concerts, radio-thons and 5K running events. Third-party fundraisers can be planned by organizations, or by individuals.
“This holiday season, more than 100,000 of our Monmouth and Ocean County neighbors are relying on us for the food on their tables. This generous contribution from the Grunin Foundation ensures the dollars raised by our community members go as far as possible,” said Triada Stampas, President and CEO of Fulfill.
The Grunin Foundation, which has called the Central Jersey Shore area home for more than 50 years, is a frequent supporter of Fulfill and supports countless organizations in the area to support their vision of an equitable, just and vibrant community.
“It is with great hope that we help Fulfill kick off their holiday season third-party fundraising campaign with a match grant,” said Jeremy Grunin, president of the Grunin Foundation. “Hunger impacts physical, mental, emotional and social aspects of life. Food is essential to holistic wellbeing and Fulfill helps increase access for those who need it most.”
Fulfill is designated as a Four Star Charity by Charity Navigator, meaning of every dollar raised, $0.96 goes directly to programs that fight hunger in our community.
“I invite everyone who has ever thought about hosting a fundraiser during the holiday season to contact us to learn more,” added Stampas. “There is nothing more empowering than witnessing community members come together to support each other, especially this time of year.”
