What is a Matching Donation? 

Matching Donations are a great way to show your support for a campaign and encourage others to get involved. On GiveCampus, there are two types of Matching Donation: Per-Dollar Matches and Per-Donor Matches. 

What is a Per-Dollar Matching Donation? 

When you set up a Per-Dollar matching donation, you agree to donate a certain amount for every dollar donated by others, for a certain period of time, up to a pre-defined maximum. For example, you could agree to donate $1 for every $1 donated, for the next five days, up to $500. 

What is a Per-Donor Matching Donation? 

When you set up a Per-Donor matching donation, you agree to donate a certain amount for each donor who gives to the campaign, for a certain period of time, up to a pre-defined maximum. For example, you could agree to donate $25 for each donor who gives to the campaign, for the next ten days, up to $500. 

Can I offer a Matching Donation  and Dollar Challenges anonymously? 

Yes. If you choose to be anonymous, the details of your gift will appear on the campaign page, but you will be identified as "Anonymous"

Dollar Challenges 

When you set up a Dollar Challenge, you agree to donate a defined amount if others contribute a certain aggregate amount within a fixed period of time. For example, you could agree to give $5,000 if others give $5,000 in the next two days.
