Stand Together Extends Donation Match of “Make It Count” Initiative Through End of Week

ARLINGTON, Va., Nov. 26, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Stand Together announced today that it will extend its match of the Make It Count initiative through the end of the week (Friday, Nov. 30), giving people an additional chance to “Donate the Difference” of their holiday savings toward organizations that are working to help break the cycle of poverty in their communities.

Through its Make It Count campaign at StandTogetherAgainstPoverty.org, Stand Together will match all donations toward any of the 100+ organizations in its national network now through Giving Tuesday, doubling dollars and expanding impact.  

The campaign spotlights and benefits more than 50 funding opportunities for social entrepreneurs across the country that Stand Together has recognized for demonstrating their ability to solve the nation's toughest problems and help people improve their lives.

"Through the Make It Count initiative, people can learn about and donate to some of the most effective and creative community-based organizations across the country," said Evan Feinberg, executive director, Stand Together. "We're on a mission to break the cycle of poverty by supporting and building a network of the most innovative and effective nonprofits committed to building strong and safe communities. We hope people will consider supporting these organizations that are doing real, meaningful work so that we can double the difference."

Through the end of the week (Friday, Nov. 30), Stand Together will call on online shoppers to also donate a portion of their purchase savings. In 2017, online transactions in the U.S. reached $6.59 billion on Cyber Monday. That same year, on Giving Tuesday, initiatives raised more than $274 million from 2.5 million contributions.
