Here’s your chance to amplify your impact on a child’s future! During our Matching Gift Challenge, generous local donors will match gifts, making your support go even further for kids in our community.
This year, instead of having this challenge extend the last few months of the year, we plan to condense it into three days of community-wide giving, from November 1-3, 2026.
Two Ways to Get Your Gift Matched
- Participation Match
The first 100 donors with gifts between $1-$499 will receive an additional $100 match on their gift. That means $10 becomes $110, $25 becomes $125, $50 becomes $150, and so on. - Leadership Giving Match
To ensure transformational giving remains a key part of the campaign, gifts of $500 or more will be matched dollar-for-dollar.
