NONPROFIT GUIDELINES

The Community Foundation of Western PA & Eastern OH is excited to partner with the terrific organizations throughout our region. Details are as follows:

 

  • MATCHING DOLLARS. Over $140,000 in match and challenge money has been committed. Matching dollars will be allocated on a pro rata basis to every donation that an organization receives. Checks that are issued from the participating organization's bank account will not be considered for the match.
     

  • PROGRAM PROFILES. Each organization will have a dedicated profile in the Programs section of this website that can be shared with its donor base via email or on social media in order to attract donations.
     

  • FEES. The Community Foundation is not charging any fees, therefore, participating organizations will receive 100% of all received donations (net credit card processing fees charged by Stripe) with a breakdown of who made each contribution. 
     

  • PAYMENT. Donations can be made online through credit card or via check by mailing it to the following address:
