Matching and challenge gifts are special types of donations that amplify your support! A matching gift is when a donor offers to match your support dollar-for-dollar up to a certain amount. A challenge gift is similar, but this type of donation is made only if a specific number of people step up to support a certain fund. If you would like to issue a match or challenge to your fellow Bearkats on Giving Day, contact givingtoshsu@shsu.edu.
