Summary

The March 2012 Beaver Beacon reports that PABI was matching a $1 million Welter Foundation challenge grant intended to eliminate Community Center debt and build its endowment. More than $250,000 had been contributed in the first three months toward the $500,000 match.

Evidence limits

The issue reports campaign progress, not the final amount raised or the grant’s ultimate disposition.
