Match challenge expanded

This year’s campaign originally included a challenge, backed by some individual board members, to match any new gifts or increases in individual pledges from last year or new pledges up to a total of $18,000. The original challenge has already been met, but some board members have now — personally — guaranteed to an additional match up to $10,000.

That means a donor who increased a $500 pledge by $100 to $600, for example, will have the increase matched so the total amount raised from that gift will be $700.
