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.

SHSU 1961 Sigma Chi Challenge
Sigma Chi pride is firing up for SHSU Giving Day! Alumni brothers Jerry Stephenson ’78, Larry Larrison ’77, Jason Hammons ’99, and Shane Sklar ’99 are rallying together to spark a wave of support back to Sam Houston State. When you give $19.61 or more—honoring the year Sigma Chi was founded at SHSU—you’re not just donating… you’re helping unlock a $1,961 challenge gift from these dedicated brothers once 15 gifts roll in.
