Friends of Dog Mountain welcomes individual and business challenge/matching gifts of $2,500 dollars or more.
With a challenge gift, everyone wins. Challenge gifts are paid if and when FODM raises sufficient additional matching funds from other sources. For instance, a donor may offer a challenge gift of $2,500 to FODM with the stipulation that it will be paid out as a one-to-one match. FODM then communicates this match opportunity to other supporters, offering to double the first $2,500 in donations. Once the challenge has been met, the original donor provides $2,500 in direct support while Dog Mountain ultimately receives $5000 in donations.
If you would like to consider a challenge gift, please email our Development Office or call 800-449-2580.
