We have some exciting news to share. Bell Lumber & Pole has committed $300,000 to match gifts to Urban Ventures, dollar for dollar, through the end of 2026.
That means every new gift, every increased gift, and every gift from a returning friend we haven’t heard from in a while will be matched 1:1. Give $50, and $100 goes to work for kids and families in South Minneapolis. Give $1,000, and it becomes $2,000.
No extra steps. Really.
You don’t need to fill out a form, request a match, or check a box. Just make your gift, and Bell’s match is applied. That’s it.
Starting a monthly gift? Even better. Bell will match your monthly gifts for a full 12 months, so your support keeps doubling all year long.
Every year, Urban Ventures walks alongside roughly 5,000 families through a cradle-to-career model, from early learning to tutoring to helping young people build a plan for what comes after high school. Our big goal is simple: every child in our neighborhood graduates high school with a plan for what’s next. A match like this helps us get there faster.
A heartfelt thank you
To the team at Bell Lumber & Pole: thank you for believing in our neighbors and for inviting others to join you. Your generosity is multiplying the good happening in our community.
And to everyone who gives before December 31: thank you. Your gift goes twice as far, and our neighbors feel the difference.
