UWCC has learned about a chance for your funding to have a bigger impact than ever through the #HalfMyDAF matching-grant challenge!

Right now, not-for-profits like ours are working harder than ever for those in our community. Meanwhile, over $120 BILLION sits unused in Donor Advised Funds and community foundations across the country. The #HalfMyDAF challenge aims to put these charitable dollars to work NOW, when and where it’s needed most.

Anyone who makes a grant to UWCC and commits to granting half the money from their DAF before September 30 th gives UWCC the chance to be one of 150 not-for-profits to get a matching grant of up to $25,000! Then you automatically become a Pacesetter! The more people who nominate our organization, the better our chances.
