Pittsburgh’s first Day of Giving

PittsburghGives Match Day

On Wednesday, October 28, 2009 beginning at 10:00 a.m. EST, log on to www.PittsburghGives.org from anywhere or join us in the PPG Wintergarden, Downtown Pittsburgh for a live public event.*

Pittsburgh Foundation Donors (those who have established an endowment fund at The Pittsburgh Foundation) will have the opportunity to give (and be matched) beginning on October 27th at 4:00 p.m. EST

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY AS THE FOLLOWING REGULATIONS APPLY FOR MATCH DAY 2009:

The challenge match will be in effect beginning at 10:00 a.m. on October 28, 2009 for public users until matching funds ($300,000) are exhausted or 12:00 p.m. on October 29, 2009.
Donations through the PittsburghGives site to eligible charities are tax deductible and irrevocable (donations will not be refunded.) Making a donation during the Match Day period does not guarantee matching funds. Donations will be matched until the match pool of dollars is depleted.
Public user contributions or Pittsburgh Foundation Donor contributions are eligible to be matched .50 cents to the $1.00 up to a maximum of $2,500 per individual or company. For example, if Jane Doe gives an organization a $2,500 grant, the org. receives $1,250 in match money for Jane's gift. If she raises her gift to $10,000, the organization's total in match money from Jane's gift is still only $1,250.
Public users are individuals or companies. Non-profit organizations may not donate to themselves.
PF Donors are individuals who have established an endowment fund at The Pittsburgh Foundation.
The minimum credit card contribution is $50. The maximum credit card contribution is $10,000. The minimum grant recommendation is $200.

Thank you!

In just 23 minutes the community helped drive more than $1 million to our local nonprofit organizations through The Pittsburgh Foundation's PittsburghGives initiative. This level and speed of giving is unprecendented and was accomplished entirely through your remarkable efforts and generosity.

We are aware that some people had difficulty in accessing or completing their gift through the PittsburghGives Match day site due to the overwhelming level of demand. To them, we apologize. We are working with our technology partners to resolve these problems for the future.

On behalf of all of Pittsburgh's wonderful nonprofits, a heartfelt 'well done' and thank you for joining us in this bold demonstration of Pittsburgh's charitable and innovative spirit.
