Give Boldly to Boone County

A challenge-match fundraising campaign to grow permanent funds designated for initiatives that support quality of life.

The Give Boldly to Boone County Campaign is a challenge-match opportunity for the BCFF. By raising $300,000, an additional $150,000 will be granted to the organization. These matching funds are being provided by Donna Kruse and another generous Boone County donor.

When you choose to Give Boldly to Boone County, you're making a commitment to the projects and organizations that sustain and enhance our way of life. From creating programs that support our youth to implementing services that draw tourists and make the county more attractive to potential businesses, we can keep Boone County on the map as long as we're working together.

Why Now? It's Vital to Keep Local Wealth Here at Home

Boone County, a community 5,400 strong has achieved remarkable things in the past several decades and serves as an exemplary model of what a rural community can accomplish with steadfast pride, cooperation, momentum and a willingness to dream bigger.

The hard work in Boone County is paying off in dividends: Albion and St. Edward are growing their populations and more than $5 million has been reinvested in "margin-of-excellence" community economic development priorities, including early childhood development, education, recreation and quality of life-enhancing amenities. By focusing on keeping even 5% of Boone County's wealth at home, much more can be done to grow our community.
