Matching Gift Program
The Matching Gift Program was initiated by the Foundation in 2010. The Matching Gift Awards have three primary purposes:
- Matching Grants can help organizations build their donor base and thus support the work related to their health and well-being mission and vision.
- Matching Grants can be used to support general operating expenses, as well as any priority projects of an organization.
- Matching Grants can be used as “match” for other grant awards from government or philanthropic sources.
Requests for Applications are typically released in the beginning of the calendar year through the Foundation’s grant portal. Awarded applicants will have a specified time period to raise new funds that are eligible for match from the Foundation. Awards are limited to one per organization per calendar year. An organization may receive funding for more than one year, but a new application must be submitted each year. Approval of one year of funding carries with it no assurance of continued funding in subsequent years. A final report will be submitted online. This report will be due 30 days after the program is complete to maintain eligibility for future funding.
