How Does a Match Work?

One of the most powerful ways to inspire giving on Give Day is by creating your own match or challenge!

When you offer a match or challenge, you don't just make a gift, you create momentum for the day and encourage participation by inspiring others to give. 

Why Offer a Match or Challenge?

• Create urgency – Donors are more likely to give when they know their gift will be matched
• Build momentum – Matches spark excitement and keep the energy high for the entire campaign
• Boost participation – More donors join in when there’s a challenge
• Generate buzz – Encourage sharing and excitement
• Maximize impact – Every contribution moves us closer to our goal

Setting up Your Match or Challenge 

• You can set up a match by choosing to give a certain amount per donor or a $1 for $1 match up to a certain amount. Once that amount is reached, your match will be unlocked and added to the total. 
• You can set up a challenge by choosing to give a certain amount if a certain number of donors give or a you can choose to give a certain amount if a certain amount is donated. 

• Matches and Challenges can be restricted to specific groups: 
• By Affiliation (Ex. Match or challenge applies to alumni, parent, student, employee, etc.)
• By Affiliation + Class Year (Ex. Match or challenge applies to alumni from 2016)
• By Class Year (Ex. Match or challenge applies to everyone from class of 2016)
• By Designation (Ex. Match or challenge applies to every gift designated to the Carpe Diem Fund)
• By Designation + Affiliation (Ex. Match or challenge applies to every gift designated to the Carpe Diem Fund from the class of 2016)
