This is nuts and bolts episode for anyone who wants to start hosting matching gift challenges.  Andrew and Rhen will walk you step-by-step through the logistics of organizing a matching gift challenge, and they offer insight to all of the creative possibilities for these challenges.  After listening to this episode, you'll certainly be ready to begin your own matching gift challenge plans! 


Andrew and Rhen answer the following questions:

• What is a matching gift challenge?
  
  
• How do you find donors who are willing to offer matching gifts?
  
  
• How do you structure your matching gift challenge and maximize results?
  
  
• Should monthly gifts be included in the challenge?  If so, how?
  
  
• What happens if we get to our deadline and and haven't met the goal of our challenge?  Or, the alternative, what happens if we hit our goal early?

As Rhen mentions at the end of the episode, Petrus is offering a free annual fund checklist for listeners.  The checklist shares several ideas (in addition to matching gift challenges!) for how you can build a more robust annual fund.  If you'd like to receive this resource, please click here for more information.
