DONATION INFORMATION

    • Combined donations up to $2000.00 will be matched at 100%, giving a maximum of $2000.00 in matching funds to any one organization. 
    • Donations are tax deductible.  If donors provide an email address, all gifts (cash, check, and online) will generate a receipt at the time of the donation and an additional receipt will not be mailed.  If no email address is provided, donations made by cash or check will receive a receipt letter after the event.  Cash gifts will also receive a handwritten receipt at the event. 
    • Each individual donor should write one check made payable to Hiawatha Community Foundation (HCF) for a total of all gifts to various organization funds.  A separate form will be used to indicate which fund(s) will benefit.
    • Donations by participating organizations to their own fund will not qualify for the match.

Donors may mail gifts any time postmarked after May 1, 2024, or in person at the event May 24th and May 25th.  One can also donate via the online donor portal anytime from May 24 to May 26 at midnight.  Checks sent via mail must be postmarked by May 24, 2023.  If a donor is not able to attend the event and does not want to make an online gift remotely, another individual may bring a gift in for them.  

The match day reconciliation may take up to two or three weeks.  You will receive an email that contains the match day donation total, match amount and a listing of the donors. 

Thank you to our generous match donors for increasing the impact of giving on Give Back to Move Forward Match Day for our community.
