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.
