Match Funding Questions
While we are newly established, our match funding model is structured to provide maximum accountability. Funds are held in a restricted account and only released as matching requirements are met. We provide transparent reporting at every stage, and you have full visibility of how your match pledge is being utilized.
We implement several safeguards: (1) All match funds are held in a restricted account separate from operational funds; (2) We provide real-time reporting on matched donations; (3) You receive impact reports showing exactly how the matched funds were deployed; (4) Our board provides oversight on all match funding activities; (5) We work with an independent accountant to verify proper fund allocation.
Absolutely. You can designate your match pledge to specific programmes such as carer support, disability services, youth programmes, elderly services, or mental health support. Alternatively, you can leave it unrestricted to be used where the need is greatest.
This depends on the type of match funding you choose. With a challenge grant, if the target isn't met, your pledge is not activated. With other models, we only match what is raised. You never pay more than what is actually donated by others, and any unutilized portion of your pledge is simply not drawn upon.
We provide prominent recognition across all campaign materials, digital platforms, and impact reports. Specific recognition is tailored to your preferences—from named match campaigns to more discreet acknowledgments. All recognition is discussed and agreed upon in advance.
