Trusting donation matches

{NAME} – As the world’s most trusted nonprofit evaluator, we field many questions from donors about match campaigns since sometimes they can seem too good to be true. For a quick refresher, match campaigns are when your donation unlocks a portion of the match funder’s gift, multiplying your gift. So, how can you tell whether or not a campaign is real before you support it? When you receive an appeal asking for your support of a match, it should have clear information about what the match total is, where the gift came from (e.g., board of directors, anonymous donor, corporation, etc.), and when the match expires. We’re actually seeking funding for a match fund of our own right now. If you find great value and importance in our ratings and giving resources, I hope I can count on you to support our continued innovation by making a tax-deductible gift to our match fund today. [A gift of any amount will make a difference, but don't delay, as there are only three days left on the Matching Fund Initiative. The deadline is 11:59:59 PM EDT, September 30, 2024](.
