Raise Your Match


Raise Your Match Nets over $10 Million for Jewish Camping

Raise Your Match, a $1.95 million matching grant program, ended in February 2009. This program challenged 21 camps to secure up to $75,000 in $25,000 increments that was then matched 1:1 by the HGF to create a pool of matching funds. Camps then secured gifts of $3,600 or more using the pool of matching funds to match these gifts 1:2 or 1:3 depending on the ratio chosen by the camp.

 

Significant Results of Raise Your Match:

  • $9 million raised in pledges from 20 participating camps
  • $1.18 million matched by the Harold Grinspoon Foundation
  • Total of $10.18 million going toward Jewish camping
  • 413 individual gifts to camps
  • Range of pledges: $3,600-$1,250,000
