Looking for a meaningful way to give back this holiday season? Matched Gifts of Hope let you multiply your impact – without spending more.

How does matched giving work?

Donation matching programs like Gifts of Hope offer an opportunity to maximize the value and impact of your gifts. When you choose a Gift of Hope marked with the matched symbol, your gift is multiplied – sometimes up to 12 times – by trusted partners like government agencies, foundations, and organizations. This means your gift goes further, helping even more children and families without any additional cost to you.

For example, if you give a $50 gift that’s matched 12x, our partners will contribute 12 more of those specific gifts. That means that your $50 gift becomes $650, making 12x as much impact possible. It’s a simple yet powerful way to maximize your generosity.

Who matches the donations?

Gifts of Hope are matched by trusted partners like the Government of Canada, The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, TB, and Malaria and other institutional donors. Organizations, corporations or generous individual givers can all contribute to match commitments.

Your gifts have a real impact

IMPACT CORNER

According to UNESCO, education reduced extreme poverty by 40% since 1980

Education is the key to equality. When girls have the chance to learn, they don’t just change their own lives, they can transform entire communities.

Education is the best investment we can make for a more prosperous world. And your Gifts of Hope, like Send a Girl to School, help make it possible.

33,918 girls were enrolled in school last year through our projects!
