During the month of October, the Phillips County Community Foundation is challenged to raise up to $50,000 to be matched by the Dane G. Hansen Foundation. This enables PCCF to build the grant fund to help communities across the county. With the help of generous donors and the dedication of our board members, community volunteers and staff - we have exceeded our goal each year.
