"Why is the Sphinx
Competition important?
Because it exists...
and because it is
a noble idea
and should be encouraged."
Isaac Stern |
HIGHLIGHTS
- The Sphinx Organization joined the Increasing Regional Philanthropy endowment match challenge through the Community Foundation for Southeastern Michigan
- Lillian and Don Bauder stepped up the challenge to match funds through the establishment of a Sphinx Endowment Fund at the Community Foundation that will in essence create a double match for eligible endowment gifts. Learn more.
| “In providing this time-sensitive challenge and doubling match funds, the Bauders’ generosity more than doubles the impact of each gift made to the Sphinx Endowment. This transformative initiative is a critical opportunity for donors, enabling each gift to support the sustainability and growth of Sphinx well into the future.
