YOU make a gift. WE make it grow.
On Grow Green Match Day,the gifts you make to any of the participating non-profit organizations will have a bigger impact! Your donation will go directly to the organization for immediate needs. Each organization will receive a 50% match on your gift that will be added to their endowment. Some will choose to add all donations to their endowment. Some will use the money for immediate operating needs. Either way, you can feel good knowing your gift has made a bigger positive difference for that mission.
