A simple philanthropic group of locals that delights in being able to be “part of the solution.”
Welcome! The 30something is a philanthropic group of people who live in and love Silver City. As a group we want to make a significant difference in our town while we are still alive rather than just giving money to organizations in our wills. We have been supporters of many different nonprofits over t
he years but feel that if we band together and each give $1000 every year we can help different nonprofit every year to do a big project that they would find almost impossible to do through normal fundraising channels. I came up with the name for “the 30 something” because as a longtime member of virus theater and a member of their marketing committee we were in a quandary about raising money for an HVAC system so that the theater could be rented out and start becoming self-sustaining. Virus theater has some funds but with a bid for $42,000 they need 30 something thousand dollars to make this dream for the El Sol theater a reality. My hope is that everyone who has committed to be a part of this philanthropic group will meet every year for a catered event at the end of August to award the money to that years winner And enjoy a celebration of each other and being a part of the solution enriching our lives and the lives of all people in Silver City and Grant County for many years to come. We have set up an account under the Grant County Community Foundation’s umbrella for “the 30 something“. When you send your checks to them they will send you a tax deductible receipt and notify us so we’re can invite you to the party! Thanks for agreeing to be part of what I think will be an the exciting opportunity to really make an impact in our town. I’m super excited to see what we can do! You can donate using a credit card (see the red button below) or send a check made out to the GRANT COUNTY COMMUNITY FOUNDATION and write ‘The 30 Something’ in the NOTE section. The GCCF will then mail you a tax deduction receipt. Please put your phone number and email on the check so we can keep you advised of news and events! Please remember that The 30 Something is not a tax deductible organization. The Grant County Community Foundation is, and enables you to deduct the donation to us.
