Ignite The Match
Through the generosity of the Louis & Gloria Flanzer Philanthropic Trust, “Ignite the Match” give us the opportunity to leverage the power of philanthropic giving through the Goodwill-Flanzer “Ignite the Match” partnership. This means that every donation between $5 and $500 will be doubled. If you give monthly, your gift will be matched each month by the Flanzer Trust.
Louis and Gloria Flanzer exemplified philanthropic leadership in Sarasota, generously sharing their time and donations with many local nonprofit organizations. We are thankful for the Flanzers’ vision, spirit of collaboration, and commitment to our community that continues their legacy of giving.
Email us at donate@gimi.org and we’ll guide you to the perfect donation solution.
