Updated April 29th 2025: this funding opportunity no longer requires projects to have a total goal under $500. Going forward, projects can be any cost and qualify for this match offer.
Starting November 19th 2024, qualifying projects will receive a 2X match on new donations. That means a $20 donation will become a $40 donation, and so on.
If your project meets the criteria below, new donations on your project will be matched as long as funding remains. Once your project is approved and live on the site, you will see the match offer displayed on your project page.
How to qualify:
- Teach in a New Jersey school
- Create a project requesting Warmth, Care & Hunger materials and select the Warmth, Care & Hunger subject area. Please ensure accurate representation and select the corresponding subject area only if it aligns with your project.
Examples of Warmth, Care & Hunger materials:
- Hygiene products like combs, toothbrushes, floss, and deodorant
- Day-to-day clothing items or winter apparel like coats, shoes, socks, hats, gloves, rain gear, and sleeping bags
- Meals or snacks for your students
Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: Is there a limit to how expensive my project can be to qualify for this match?
Your project can be any cost to qualify for this match!
Q: Are there any restrictions on which donations are matched?
All new donations to live projects are eligible for this match. Previous donations placed before the match offer's start date will not be matched.
Q: How can I edit my posted project?
If your project has not received any donations, you can make any edits by returning your project to a draft status. You can do this by heading over to the Projects section of your account and clicking on the "Return project to draft" button underneath your project title. Once your project is in draft status, you can make any edits and resubmit it. Then, it will be re-screened by our team and re-posted if eligible. Read more about editing your project.
