Dona­tion matching

TagLast edit: Apr 1, 2022, 4:06 PM 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.
