CONWAY — STAY MWV got great news recently when its chair, Jess Wright, got a call from a donor who wishes to stay anonymous, offering a $10,000 matching grant to the program, which helps pay off student loan debt for young local residents.

“I am astonished and grateful,” Wright said last week. “We have already raised about $3,200 toward that $10,000 goal. If we meet it, we can leverage that $10,000 to $20,000.”
