I volunteer for an org Sanctuary Hostel it aims to be a vegan hoste, animal rescue and community center, i wanted to do a donation matching where i provide $90k of total matching, the issue is the leadership team was terrible and they had faltered several other opportunities and it was decided that they all leave, we do have the 3 board members but at the moment its basically 2 people including me and i have no fundraising experience or connections
How best can we get people to take advantage of this donation matching offer i am providing?
Hey @AceM, thanks for your question. It sounds like you’re being generous and nudging the organisation in a direction where they can ideally raise even more money by leveraging your gift.
Based on what you’ve described, however, I’d want to ensure that the organisation has the necessary infrastructure to handle a matched contribution. If those systems are in place, that’s great...I just don’t know.
If those systems are not in place, perhaps your gift could help implement them, so that donors/funders (at all levels) know that their donations are safe, and put to use in impactful ways.
I sounds to be like they need your support, but might not be ready to administer or manage a matching gift programme.
