HCF Match Month: July 10th – August 10th
This summer, the Halstead Community Foundation is working to raise $200,000 to unlock a generous $100,000 matching gift from the Patterson Family Foundation, creating an extraordinary opportunity to support local nonprofits, award scholarships and invest in projects that make Halstead stronger, more vibrant and more connected.
Starting July 10, every dollar you give to the HCF fund* of your choice will be matched at 25% until we reach our $200,000 goal or until the campaign ends August 10 (*donations to donor advised funds cannot be matched).
The remaining 25% of matching dollars will support HCF’s Impact Fund, used to make grants to community organizations and projects, and the HCF Operating Endowment, helping ensure we can serve Halstead well into the future. Matching funds will be awarded on a first-come, first-served basis, ensuring gifts receive the full available match.

Help HCF “Grow the Glow” in Riverside Park
Building on the overwhelmingly positive response after the 2025 holiday season, we are inviting donors to help us “grow the glow” as we leverage our upcoming matching opportunity to expand the Christmas light display in Riverside Park. Gifts designated to the Halstead Community Improvement Fund will receive an additional 25% match, meaning your contribution will be matched at 50% until we reach $50,000 in total donations or max out our $200,000 goal. Whether you choose to give as an individual, family, business or organization, there are opportunities at every level to help grow an attraction that strengthens community pride and draws visitors to Halstead.
