It's hard to believe that Give Local Greater Waterbury and Litchfield Hills will be here in just six weeks! To help you make the most of your experience, we will be sending you this weekly newsletter to share important updates.
Matching Funds
If you are looking for a way to boost your Give Local campaign, have you considered securing an outside matching gift? If you have a donor that you know is planning to donate to your organization via Give Local, you can use it as a match, which will give your other donors added incentive!

Organizations with matches should be sure to add the match amount on their Give Local profile and complete the Matching Funds form by April 3, so that the Foundation can substantiate this gift.

If you would like to learn more about how matching funds work, please join our free webinar on this topic - Wednesday, March 21 at 2 p.m.
