Matches and Challenges

We’re excited to announce matches and challenges for UW Giving Day!

Matches are funds that are set up before UW Giving Day that allow you to double the impact of your gift. Say you give $100 to UW Club Sports and are eligible for a match. That means that $200 goes to support Club Sports. Go Pokes!

Challenges are similar but are generally based on the number of donors or amount raised. Once a threshold is reached, the fund is unlocked. For example, a challenge may be set up for 50 donors to the School of Nursing, and if that is achieved it unlocks a fund of $5,000.

This year, there will be over $500,000+ of matching funds and donor challenges:

$60,000 for a UW Foundation Board Giving Day Kickoff Match that goes live at noon on Oct. 20, available to any donor for any campaign (online gifts only, up to $1,000 per donor) provided by the UW Foundation Board,
$15,000 for the Crypto Giving Day Donor Challenge, where 15 gifts of crypto unlocks $15,000, live at noon, Oct. 20, provided by Caitlin Long and Phil Treick,
$25,000 for President Seidel's UW Faculty/Staff Giving Day Match for faculty and staff, live at 6 p.m., Oct. 20., provided by President Ed Seidel, Dr. Gabrielle Allen, and the UW Foundation Board, and
$12,000 for a Giving Day Midnight Match available at midnight, Oct. 20 (online gifts only, up to $1,000 per donor), provided by the UW Foundation Board.
