Support local nonprofits on Match Day 2020!

What is Match Day?

Match Day, developed by the Community Foundation, United Way of the Lakeshore and local donors, is designed to provide operating support to our partner organizations that typically rely on private fundraising to fulfill their missions. These nonprofits have been invited to participate, and a complete list of participating organizations can be found below.

What is a "proportional" match, and how does it work?

The match pool is seeded by a $75,000 grant from the Community Foundation that has grown to over $110,000. Match dollars will be distributed proportionally across all participating organizations. Gifts of up to $1,000 per donor, per organization, will qualify for the match. Donors are welcome to give more, but only the first $1,000 per organization will be matched. 

Example: Donor A gives a total of $3,000 – $1,000 each to AgeWell, American Red Cross, and Arts Council of White Lake; the entire $3,000 qualifies for the match. Donor B gives $3,000 to AgeWell; only $1,000 qualifies to be matched.

How do I donate?
