Matching funds are one of the most effective tools your nonprofit can use to supercharge your El Paso Giving Day campaign. A matching funds donor, whether an individual, business, or community partner, pledges to match donations you receive, dollar for dollar, helping to inspire more giving and maximize your impact.
Why Matching Funds Matter
Motivate donors to give more by doubling their impact
Build excitement and urgency during Early Giving and Giving Day
Strengthen your fundraising message and credibility
How It Works
Secure a matching funds partner and submit a signed commitment form by September 30, 2025. Matching funds are applied during Early Giving (October 10–17) or until the match is fully used. Most matches are set at a 1:1 ratio, but other structures are welcome.
Prize Opportunity
Nonprofits who secure $2,500 or more in matching funds by the deadline will be entered into a Matching Fund Prize Raffle for a chance to win one of the following additional match prizes:
$2,500
$1,500
$1,000
Winners will be announced on October 17, 2025.
How to Submit Matching Funds
Matching funds must be submitted by check (do not give through the EPGD website)
Checks should be made payable to: Paso del Norte Community Foundation 221 N. Kansas Street, Suite 1900 El Paso, Texas 79901 Memo line: EPGD 2025 – [Your Nonprofit Name]
All matching fund checks must be received no later than October 30, 2025
