(Oldenburg, Ind.) - The Oldenburg Academy Innovation Council is closing in on a fundraising goal that will see them earn a 50-50 matching grant from the state as part of the Indiana Housing and Community Development Authority's My Community, My Vision program.
To date, the student group has raised $21,380 towards their $25,000 goal to beautify Maypole Heritage Park.
This campaign will collect all funds raised by Friday 28 at 11:45 p.m. If the $25,000 goal is met by that time, the Oldenburg Academy Innovation Council will receive a 50-50 matching grant.
