Match Day: Double Your Donations

One of my personal priorities is to do what I can to support the community around me. For me, that means taking advantage of volunteer time off provided by my employer making financial contributions to organizations that support that community. Given my interest in food, I focus my financial contributions in one direction: feeding the community around me via The Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank is currently my charity of choice.

For today only (starting at 10:00am), you can join me in supporting the food bank, or any local charity of your choosing, by participating in the Pittsburgh Foundation‘s Match Day event. The process is easy; just follow a few quick steps…

  1. Create an account on the PittsburghGives site.
  2. Search or browse for a charity you want to support
  3. Look over the efficiency/volume data provided by the site
  4. Click donate now and submit your contribution.

That’s it. Starting at 10:00am on Wednesday, October 28, the Pittsburgh Foundation will match your gift (up to a limit of $300k). The offer is good for one day only.
