Where can I find a business to match a donation to charity?

I am the Secretary of my school’s Student Council. Every year, we have a charity drive. This year, we have selected a charity called Camp Heartland, allowing children with HIV/AIDS and a sibling to go to summer camp.
This is one of the only opportunities these children have to be with people who understand their pain. They feel they do not have to hide their illnesses. At Camp Heartland, they can be free.
I am on the board of our local YMCA and on our fundraising committee, and although I’m not sure how much you’re looking to raise or how you’re going to raise it, I do think that this might be one possibility.
We found, what I think, is a very clever fundraising idea. Check out and download our digital shopping tool. It won’t cost you anything, and takes less than a minute…and when you’re done, we’ve just made a dollar.
What we’re most excited about this particular event is that the company that we’re working with, that created the shopping tool, has shown us how they will match 100% the donations raised by our sponsors!
If you’re interested in learning how we’ve set this up to maximize the funds raised via sponsors, do send me a note to and I’ll send you either the notes from our meetings, or at least pointers on how you might do the same!
Hope this helps! Success with any project you decide on!
