Matching donations

Matching donations

Matching donations or matching gifts is a charitable practice where an individual or organization pledges to give an equal amount of money to a certain organization, where the amount given is equal to the amount raised in individual gifts. The practice of matching donations thus doubles the amount that the charity receives. If an individual or organization promises to match donations, this may provide an extra incentive to give to the charity, as every gift counts twice as much.
