What is a matching grant?

A matching grant is a donation pledged by a supporter—such as a board member or business—that matches gifts made by other donors, often dollar-for-dollar.

Why use matching grants?

Matching grants double the impact of each donation and can drive urgency and donor excitement, especially during peak giving hours.

What is peer-to-peer (P2P) fundraising?

P2P fundraising empowers your supporters to raise money on your behalf through personal fundraising pages, reaching new audiences and donors.

How do I recruit peer fundraisers?

Start by asking your volunteers, board, and loyal donors to create mini-campaigns. Provide a playbook and cheer them on through email and social media shoutouts.
