Hey everyone, I work on the Growth team at GiveDirectly and wanted to share this match just for Canadian donors running through Dec. 31st 2022.
Only $1,300 of our $75,000 (CAD) match pool has been claimed and this is a true match, so any funds left over after 12/31 will expire.
Donations are matched 1.5X up to $1,500 per donor, meaning a $1,500 donation will unlock $2,250 for people in poverty. That’s enough to deliver large, one-time cash transfers to 2 households to spend and invest as they see fit.
This is a great opportunity to maximize the impact of your giving and enable us to deliver more cash to people living in poverty next year. Consider sharing with your networks (or upvoting this post) to help spread the word.
Hey Madhav! The 1.5X match means that for every dollar donated, the match will provide an additional $1.50.
So if I donate $10, the match fund will provide an additional $15 for a total of $25 donated to GiveDirectly. Hope this helps!
