The 2023 Good Giving Challenge begins on November 28 – #GivingTuesday – and lasts until the very last minute of December 1! As always, the week is packed with opportunities for your gift to be matched.
We are thrilled to announce a generous match of $30,000 from Link-Belt Cranes! This year, we are asking our supporters to become Food Bank Ambassadors. By participating as an ambassador, you will not only support those in need but also inspire others to join the fight against hunger.
- We encourage you to set up a personal fundraising page to share with friends. Whether it’s $50, $100, $500, or more, every dollar counts and makes a difference in the lives of those we serve. (FAQs)
New this year is Early Giving! From November 14 – 27, donors can give early. This is great for donors who might be traveling or busy during the GoodGiving Challenge.
James A. and Martha R. Brown Charitable Foundation $50,000 Early Giving Match Challenge will match donations 50¢ per $1, on gifts up to $250 (maximum match $125 per gift). This match pool starts on November 14 and lasts until the GoodGiving Challenge begins, or until the match pool is exhausted.
