In this post, we will show you why your support matters, explain how the matching gift works, share inspiring stories of students whose lives have been transformed, and guide you on how to participate. Read on to discover how your holiday gift can be a true force for good.
Why your gift matters
Education transforms lives, opening doors to brighter futures. But for many talented students in Latin America, financial barriers prevent them from achieving their dreams. At impactU Foundation, we see these struggles every day. Too often, students are forced to choose between basic living expenses and continuing their education. This holiday season, your donation can ensure they don’t have to make that choice. When you give to impactU, you’re not just funding scholarships, you’re investing in life-changing opportunities. We focus on And now, with our matching challenge, your contribution will have twice the power to help students succeed.
The power of a matching gift
What makes this campaign unique is the incredible opportunity to amplify your generosity. Thanks to a committed donor, every dollar you give will be matched up to USD$10,000. That means your USD$25 becomes $50, your USD$100 becomes USD$200, and your USD$500 becomes $1,000. Consider the impact: a doubled gift could cover the living expenses for a student struggling to stay in university. This is your chance to maximize your impact and ensure your holiday giving makes an even bigger difference.
