Matching Grant

Camp Barnabas has been awarded matching grant status with a funding bonus that will match 1:1 every camper sponsorship contributed.

The grant is a $15,000 match (totaling $30,000) from Champions for Kids in northwest Arkansas. CFK is a support center that strengthens nonprofits to better serve kids by providing resources and training. Their primary focus is community mobilization: assisting organizations with strategies to build communities of care for youth.
          DEADLINE FOR THE MATCH:  November 30, 2008


Just as you are, our camper families are facing rising costs for gasoline and groceries. For many of our families, typical out-of-pocket expenses for caring for their child - items not covered by insurance - can run as much as $250 to $300 per month. Coming to camp becomes something they feel they may have to give up. We know you don't want that to happen anymore than we do. Please consider a donation to the camper sponsorship program today by clicking here to donate online OR mailing a check to Camp Barnabas, 901 Private Road 2060, Purdy, MO 65734. (Donations should be designated for "Scholarship Fund.")

Thank you.
