Starting at 7am ET on Wednesday, October 21, 2026, qualifying projects will receive a 2X match on new donations placed after this start time. That means a $20 donation will be matched by $20 to become $40, and so on.
If your project meets the criteria below, new donations on your project will be doubled 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:
- Create a project for Food, Clothing, or Hygiene resources and/or select the Warmth, Care, and Hunger subject area
- Have your project live and approved on October 21, 2026
Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: How can I add the Warmth, Care, and Hunger subject area to my project?
You can select up to two subject areas that reflect your project goals and materials on the WHY page of your project draft when first creating your project.
Q: Are there any restrictions on which donations are doubled?
Only donations placed after 7am ET on Wednesday, October 21, 2026 will be doubled, while funds last.
Credit card, PayPal, account credit, and gift card donations to live projects are eligible for this match. Donations made to Classroom Essentials lists or directly to schools are not eligible for this match offer. Donations via check and donor-advised fund (DAF) will not be multiplied due to processing time. Previous donations placed before the match offer’s start date and time will not be multiplied. Please note, the match offer is not active for donations during Friends and Family Pre-Funding (the period when our team is reviewing projects).
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 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.
Q: Do Classroom Essentials lists qualify for this funding opportunity?
No. Donations placed to a Classroom Essentials list will not be matched by this funding opportunity. Essentials lists are currently not eligible to receive matching donations from any funding opportunity. You can read more about Classroom Essentials in our Help Center.
