With the contributions from Beloit Irish Fest and the Solomon Valley Community Foundation Give to Grow event, we are officially halfway to our community fundraising goal!

All donations are still being matched $1 for $1 by the City of Beloit, so the $25,000 we have raised so far actually amounts to $50,000 towards the project!

Donate to bring Willow Springs Courtyard to downtown Beloit, Kansas!

We are slowly making our way towards the $50,000 community fundraising goal which will be matched by the City of Beloit! We have raised $19,000 towards the $50,000 goal.

We also still have sponsorship opportunities available, if any business or family wants to leave a lasting legacy at Willow Springs Courtyard! To date, we are just $100,000 away from breaking ground at the courtyard.

Thank you for your support so far!!

For 4 years, we have been patiently waiting for the right time to approach the Dane G. Hansen Foundation for a grant to support our Willow Springs Courtyard project.

We knew the $50,000 from the Solomon Valley Community Foundation Dream Big initiative and the $20,000 from the Mitchell County Regional Medical Foundation BCBS Pathways grant kicked off this project and would one day be important match and partnerships for a larger grant request.

And thanks to the great community support we have received through our brick and paver fundraiser, we kept inching closer and closer to our goal.

Then, after the City of Beloit launched their $50,000 community match campaign, we finally felt like we had the funding and community support necessary to take a swing at a big grant.

Now, we are OVER THE MOON excited to announce we have received a $2️⃣0️⃣0️⃣,0️⃣0️⃣0️⃣ grant from the Dane G Hansen Foundation‼️

We still need to raise $125,000 to bring this project to life, but now we are SO much closer 🤩🤩🤩 And $125,000 sounds like nothing compared to the $325,000 we needed yesterday 🤪!

Our GiveButter match campaign is still going strong! Donate today and let's get this thing over the finish line!

We LOVE the shirts for the Beloit Irish Fest Clover Run! We are feeling super lucky to live in Mitchell County 🍀❤️🍀❤️🍀

We are way behind on recognizing the wonderful local businesses who have generously supported Willow Springs Courtyard, not including several more who have made their pledge!

If you have pledged but have not sent back your paver form, please let us know if you have any questions! We are happy to find a time to sit down and discuss options for support!🤩

We know this year has been full of asks, but we appreciate your continued support as we chip away to bring this dream to life.

We hope to start submitting grant applications in early 2026, if we can solicit enough local support to meet local match requirements!
