On March 19, members of the community will come together again to raise funds for 20 nonprofits participating in the Greater Milwaukee Foundation’s fourth Match Day. This year’s record-breaking match pool of more than $830,000 was contributed by donors and Board members of the Greater Milwaukee Foundation as well as the Brewers Community Foundation, The Ceres Foundation, Meijer, United Way of Greater Milwaukee & Waukesha County and Faye McBeath Foundation. Each donation of $10 or more made online on March 19 will be proportionally matched based on the total amount raised. Last year, more than $3 million was raised through the event.
“Because of generous matching donations, every donation made on Match Day will have an even greater impact in our community,” said Ellen M. Gilligan, President and CEO of the Greater Milwaukee Foundation. “Thank you to all of our funders and sponsors for supporting this year’s match pool.”
