{NAME} – Last week, my teammate Kyle sent you some information about match campaigns and how to discern their legitimacy (forwarded below). I hope this information was useful! Like the nonprofits we rate, we depend on the generosity of others to fund our programs. Right now, we’re running a special initiative where you can fund a match for Charity Navigator, inspiring others to support our mission and, ultimately, doubling your impact on our ratings and resources. [Can I count on you to make a tax-deductible gift towards the match fund right now?]( [Support Charity Navigator]( Time is running out for us to reach our ambitious $120,000 goal before the end of the month. [A gift of any amount]( will truly make a difference for the millions of donors who depend on us to inform their giving, and, most importantly, those who benefit from the critical programs at the nonprofits we evaluate. Sincerely, Kayla Kayla Vonderau

Subject: The legitimacy of donation matches {NAME} – As the world’s most trusted nonprofit evaluator, we field many questions from donors about match campaigns since sometimes they can seem too good to be true. For a quick refresher, match campaigns are when your donation unlocks a portion of the match funder’s gift, multiplying your gift. So, how can you tell whether or not a campaign is real before you support it? When you receive an appeal asking for your support of a match, it should have clear information about what the match total is, where the gift came from (e.g., board of directors, anonymous donor, corporation, etc.), and when the match expires. We encourage you to reach out to the charity conducting the match and ask if they conduct independent, annual audits and if documentation of their match campaigns is reviewed by their auditors. The answer you’re looking for is a resounding yes, which you can confirm via the ‘Independent Auditor or Financial Review’ metric included in their Charity Navigator rating within the Accountability & Finance beacon. As Charity Navigator is nonprofit, too, just a couple of weeks ago, I personally compiled documentation for our team of independent auditors, proofing and validating all of our match campaigns conducted in our last fiscal year. This is an annual practice of ours. We’re actually seeking funding for a match fund of our own right now. If you find great value and importance in our ratings and giving tips, [I hope I can count on you to support our continued innovation by making a tax-deductible gift to our match fund today.]( [Support Charity Navigator]( A gift of any amount will help us achieve our goal of [$120,000]( before the month ends, making a tremendous impact on the ratings and resources we produce. Warmly, Kyle Kyle Gardner
