The EDC is partnering with SJICF to raise $6,250 to support trades and tech training programs in the islands, during Fair week, August 17-20.
YOUR generosity helps these critically important programs to continue, and this week your donations will be MATCHED!
The San Juan Island Community Foundation is helping the EDC to raise funds through their County Fair Giving Campaign. Through this program, the first $1,000 in donations will be matched dollar-for-dollar by the Community Foundation. The EDC is also eligible for up to $2,500 in bonus grants awarded throughout the fair.
Here is our unique donation link, which will open at 12:01 AM on Wednesday the 17th: https://sjicf.fcsuite.com/erp/donate/create/grant?grant_id=11150
Donors can contribute in-person at the Community Foundation fair booth, online at www.sjicf.org/fair, by phone to SJICF at 360-378-1001, or by mailing a check payable to SJICF (dated between Aug. 17–20) with Economic Development Council in the memo line to P.O. Box 1352, Friday Harbor, WA 98250. The Community Foundation will grant the raised funds to the EDC following the County Fair. To be eligible for matching funds, donations to the EDC must be made during the four days of the 2022 County Fair – Aug. 17-20.
The EDC will also have our own booth at the County Fair this year, for the first time ever, with hands-on trades and tech activities for kids, as well as informational handouts about our many programs and resources. We are looking forward to making more connections within the community and hope islanders will stop by to say hello and learn more!
