Double Your Impact With Donation Matching
What Does Donation Matching Really Mean?
During the holiday season and other special campaigns, you may see charities promote messages indicating “your gift will be matched.” But what does that actually mean?
Donation matching is a simple and powerful way to multiply your impact. It means that for every dollar you give, another supporter contributes funds to increase the value of your gift. That donor might be a company, a foundation, or a generous individual. For example, if you donate $50 and your gift is matched, the impact for the charity would become $100 — all without any additional cost to you.
How Donation Matching Works
There are a few common ways donation matching can happen:
- Corporate Matching Campaigns: During special times of year, like our holiday campaign, a generous wish partner helps amplify the impact of every donation by contributing a matching fund. This means your gift is part of a collective effort that goes even further to make a difference.
- Employer Matching: Many companies encourage their employees’ charitable efforts by matching their donations. Check with your human resources department to see if your employer offers a gift-matching program. It’s a simple step that can double the power of your personal contribution.
Why Your Matched Gift Supports Make-A-Wish Canada
For sick children, the wish journey is a vital part of their treatment. Wishes Are Medicine. They play a significant role in a child’s health outcomes, providing the strength they need to fight their illness.
When your donation is matched, you help fulfill even more wishes. Your generosity goes further, creating more moments of strength and comfort for wish kids and their families.
