All Aboard Atchison – Atchison Community Foundation

Thank you for your faithful giving to further the ministry and mission of Atchison United Methodist Church. In August we have an incredible stewardship opportunity with the Atchison Area Community Foundation’s All Aboard Atchison Match Event.

During August 17-20, 2023 the Atchison Area  Community Foundation will provide a 50% match on gifts to our church fund when you make a donation. 

Here’s how it works:

  • When and Where:  Make a donation in person August 18 – Atchison Event Center from 4 pm –   6:30 pm or Online giving at allaboardatchison.com from 12 am on August 17 – 11:59 pm on  August 20.
  • How:
  1. Online gifts can be made with a credit card between 12 am August 17 – 11:59 pm August 20 by visiting  www.AllAboardAtchison.com
  2. Bring your donation and giving form to the Match Day happy hour on August 18, from 4-6:30 pm, at the Atchison Event Center. Checks can also be mailed to Atchison Area Community Foundation at P.O. Box 249,  Atchison, KS 66002 postmarked on or before August 20, 2022. Mailed donations must include a completed donation form.
  • Individual contributions to charitable funds ranging from $25 to $8,000 per organization will receive a 50% match until the fund has reached the $5,000 match maximum, or the $105,000 in matching funds by the Atchison Community Foundation has been depleted.

Should you to choose to donate to other local charitable organizations, in addition to AUMC write ONLY one check made payable to AACF for the entire gift. Complete the donation form to indicate amounts you would like to give to participating organizations including Atchison United Methodist Church.   The form can be downloaded from AllAboardAtchison.com. A form is also included with this letter.  Your gift is vital for helping us maximize this match of funds.  If you are able, please consider giving your tithe during this match.   I am grateful for this opportunity to multiply what God has given us, while also supporting the efforts of our neighbors in the Atchison community for years to come. 

To Christ be the glory,

Rev. Cyd Stein
