Land O’Lakes Matching Grants

Jul 30, 2025


Key Cooperative recently presented two Land O'Lakes Matching Grants to local organizations.

LYNNVILLE FIRE & EMS: Digital Communications Specialist Ellie Horn presented a matching grant from Key Cooperative and the Land O’Lakes Foundation to Lynnville Fire & EMS volunteers. The $2,000 grant will assist the organization with purchasing a washing machine for fire gear and several department tools that are needed when the team is on calls.

CAMP INVENTION: Communications Director Sara Clausen presented a matching grant from Key Cooperative and the Land O’Lakes Foundation to Ryan Brown, a Nevada teacher and Camp Invention coordinator. The $2,500 grant will be used to help reduce the registration cost for up to 70 elementary-age students who wish to enroll in a weeklong, STEM-based summer enrichment camp in Nevada.


Sara Clausen presents the grant to Ryan Brown and a group of camp students.

Your project may be the perfect match for our program! Grants are classified into two categories: community and hunger-related projects.
