Double the Cheer, Double the Impact

Are we waking up today sad Christmas Day is behind us or relieved? 

Either way, I truly hope your holiday was merry and bright. Full of good food, good people, and maybe even a little too much sugar (no judgment here). There’s something special about this stretch of time between Christmas and the New Year. A chance to slow down, catch your breath, and maybe reflect a little.

As 2025 winds down, I wanted to share something that could make your generosity go even further. We just launched Double the Donation through Give901, and it’s an easy, no-cost way to potentially double your gift to support students and schools in Memphis.

Here’s the scoop:

🎁 If you’ve already donated in 2025, your gift might qualify to be matched by your employer. You probably received an email asking you to verify it titled “Will your employer match your donation?” Just follow those simple steps, and if you qualify, you can double your impact at no extra cost to you.

💸 If you haven’t donated yet but you’re curious if you could qualify for a matching gift in the future, take a look right here: give901.org/matchingdonations

⏳ Don’t wait—matching gifts often come with deadlines. Lock yours in before the year ends!

Other Incentive Opportunities

Many companies also match volunteer hours or offer incentives for employees who give their time to nonprofits. Whether you’ve volunteered with us or with another org that makes Memphis better, your employer might offer volunteer grants or paid time off to support that work.

And if your workplace has payroll giving, you could make your gift to Give901 automatically each month. It's easy, meaningful, and often eligible for a match.

Why It Matters

Matching gifts make a big difference. Your $50 donation could become $100. Some employers even match 2:1, tripling the impact. That adds up fast when we're investing in classrooms, educators, and futures for Memphis youth.
