Learn How to Double the Impact of Your Membership!
We’re making good progress toward our goal to raise $15,000 in matching individualmembership gifts this year, thanks to a generous challenge grant from the Lucky 7Foundation.As we go to press, we have raised more than $6,880 in matches! Thank you to everyonewho has renewed their membership this summer! You are awesome! There are threematching gift opportunities with this year’s Challenge Grant.
- Members who double their membership level from last year will be eligible for a matching gift, dollar for dollar. For example, if your membership level was $50 last year and you increase your membership level to $100 this year, your entire $100 membership will be matched for a total gift of $200!
- If you have not renewed your SPF membership for several years, now is a great time to do so because your gift will be matched 100 percent!
- And, new membership gifts this year will have their membership gift fully matched. This is a great way to honor a family member, friend or colleague and help grow our base of supporters.
