Multi-Charity Fundraiser with Matching

I found out about every.org when they ran a site-wide donation matching program a while ago. I appreciated the idea of being able to leverage my own giving that way and found the site to be trustworthy and easy to use.

I have a hypothesis that when multiple charities are sharing one pool of matching funds, it creates an additional incentive for donors to participate. So I'm sponsoring one myself and inviting some friends to give. And any visitors who stop by this page are most welcome to join in!

I've chosen six charities for a "test drive" of this cool feature on every.org. These charities all have a good evidence base for being considered highly effective in some way, but it is difficult to compare them to one another apples-to-apples since they work on a diverse range of issues. There are several other charities that I am very excited about too, so please don't interpret this list as being my absolute favorites or top recommendations.

The cheesy image I've chosen is from ChatGPT-5. In my defense, anything I drew myself would have looked worse! It is meant to convey a connection between Jesus Christ and the generous use of both our hearts and minds. Jesus inspired this fundraiser by encouraging us to love God and our neighbors, with all our hearts and all our minds, as He loved us. In the modern era, we have a lot of great charities to choose from, and a lot of evidence to draw upon in trying to be wise stewards of our resources.

Note: I'm a board member of Christians for Impact and invite you to check out that website for more information, but this campaign is not an official project of that organization, just something I am trying out as an individual.
