MatchDay - Tuesday, Nov. 28, 2023

Multiply your impact on Match Day, Nov. 28, 2023

MatchDay is an opportunity to help nonprofit organizations grow their funds exponentially--so they can fulfill promises to our local communities for years to come. Between November 14th and November 28th, the day known globally as Giving Tuesday and locally as MatchDay, make a gift to your favorite local nonprofits. The more you give, the more your favorite charities get from the $100,000 match pool. Donate online and celebrate with us throughout the day.

How It Works

  • Donation Period:   November 14 - November 28, 2023
    How:  Make your donations online, by mailed check, or in-person
  • The $100,000 match pool will be divided among the participating organizations in proportion to the total amount raised. Agencies can earn up to 50 percent of the pool if contributions to their organization that day equal 50 percent or more of the total amount raised.
  • Surprise Supporter prizes will be awarded in the form of gift certificates to 2 donors, one online donor and one in-person donor, whose names will be drawn at the end of the event. 
  • Organizations can earn prize grants if their donations exceed a designated threshold over their previous year's participation.
  • Donations of $20-$2,000 per donor per organization are eligible for a match. Credit cards, debit card, and ACH donations are encouraged through matchday.wkcf.org in order to help streamline our event. Donations are tax-deductible and can be divided among multiple organizations. All donors will receive a receipt detailing the amounts and benefiting organizations. 

How to Give:

  • Online: visit matchday.wkcf.org, search for your favorite organizations and add donations to your "shopping cart." Make your donations between November 14th - 28th through the secure online system via credit card, debit card, or ACH. 
  • In-Person: Join us November 28th from 7am - 7pm, at the Gordmans building, 409 N. Main in Garden City, to make contributions in-person. 
  • Mail: Contributions made by check* can be mailed to WKCF at 402 N. Main, Garden City, KS 67846. To be eligible for a match, checks must be made out to WKCF with a giving form designating the benefitting organizations and must be both dated and postmarked between November 14th - November 28th.

    *Contributions by check may be made in one payment with the giving form designating the recipient organizations and distribution amounts.
