Sidney And Greater Area Fund

Transforming dreams into reality

Imagine a community where dreams are not just envisioned but realized. That’s the power of a community fund: turning aspirations into achievements. To make these dreams come true, we need your support to build a self-sustaining system that empowers us all to reach new heights.

IT’S A CHALLENGE, AND YOU’RE INVITED.

We have been challenged by the Sidney Donor Advised Fund to raise $250,000 locally by the end of December 2025, to receive a grant of ONE MILLION DOLLARS from the Sidney Donor Advised Fund.

Our criteria: 200 donors, 7 planned gifts (a planned gift is a future gift – when someone passes on, SAGA is left in their will). This challenge grant was made by the Sidney Donor Advised Fund.

Your Impact Matters

ABOUT sAGA.
