Why Join The Matching Program?
Why
should you join the Matching Program instead of donating directly
to a
charity? The answer is easy. You have the possibility of having more
funds to donate if you use the program. Need to see proof? Look at the
following examples.
Let's say you are a member of your
local church. Your church currently has 50 members who donate $50.00 per month to
the church. So the church is currently receiving $2500.00 per month in
charity donations. ( $50 X $50 = $2500.00) Which is great for your
church. However, if those 50 people were enrolled in the Donation
Matching Program the funding provided to the church would be much
greater. Look at what the church could be receiving if all 50 were
involved the the Matching Program.

Of course, the above table is making some assumptions. It is
possible that not everyone of the 50 people reaches the Patron Stage.
Realistically, some would be at stage 3, some at stage 2 and some at
stage 1, and some might decide it's not for them. We are also assuming that
members donate all
matching funds to the
church. However, if everyone did reach stage
3 - Patron,
the table above would be accurate. Imagine your funding increasing from
$30,000.00 per year to $600,000.00!
The more members you have the more exciting
the results can be for your organization. Just
imagine if your cause has 150 members currently donating $50.00 per
month. Check out what happens when they switch to the matching
program.

The same assumptions apply. But
think of the possibilities of what could be accomplished if your funding
rose by $1,710,000.00 per year! It is all possible with our
Donation Matching Program!
