Dona­tion matching

TagLast edit: 1 Apr 2022 16:06 UTC by Pablo

Donation matching (also known as match funding, matched giving and matching funds) is an initiative in which a large funder (often an employer) matches individual contributions according to a predetermined match ratio (usually 1:1).

EA Giving Tuesday is one prominent example.
