How It Works

• Donation Period:   November 18 - December 3, 2024
  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% of the pool if contributions to their organization that day equal 50% or more of the total amount raised.
• Surprise Supporter prizes will be awarded in the form of gift certificates to 2 donors, 1 online donor and 1 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. (All donation amounts will be accepted, however only contributions of at least $20 or more will be matched up to a $2,000 threshold.)
• Credit cards, debit card, ACH, and mobile pay 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.
