Frequently Asked Questions:
1. MATCHING FUND DRIVES: Matching drives are a great way to DOUBLE your fundraising dollars that push you closer to the $500 and $1,000 milestones, and the coveted prize of 52 Full Meals for the Top 15 Individual Fundraisers. A matching drive is when a company matches, or doubles, donations made to your fundraising page, thus doubling the impact of the original donation made.
