The Stein Matching Gift Program
The Stein Matching Gift Program encourages young professionals to incorporate philanthropy in their personal and professional lives through a four-year step up giving program.
An individual will make a first time gift of $500, or increase their current gift to $500, directed to United Way’s Community Fund or Helping Students Achieve focus area. This gift will
be matched, making the donor a member of United Way’s
Leadership Circle at the Silver level of giving. Over the next three years, the donor will increase their personal gift to reach $1,000 (Silver level).
- Suggested Step-Up Program Levels:
- 1st year . . . . . . . . . .$500
- 2nd year . . . . . . . . .$650
- 3rd year . . . . . . . . . $825
- 4th year . . . . . . . . $1000
A current leadership donor ($1,000 a year or more) who increases his/her gift a minimum of 10% to the Community Fund or Helping Students Achieve focus area, will receive a dollar-for-dollar match of the increase. The young professional will be recognized at the combined level of giving in United Way’s Leadership Circle.
