🐜 What’s Bubbling: How Matching Grants Multiply Ministry

✨ The Power of a Match

This past week, the Ant Army came together and, through the generosity of one amazing donor, we fully unlocked a $2,000 matching grant. That meant every dollar given was doubled, releasing $4,000 in Kingdom impact for ministry at USF.

This is what I call multiplying generosity. Matching gifts don’t just add, they inspire others to give more and create momentum that keeps bubbling forward.

📊 Why Matching Grants Work

• Inspire Action: Donors are more likely to give (and give more) when they know their gift will be doubled.

• Create Urgency: A set amount with a deadline motivates people to act now, not later.

• Multiply Impact: $1,000 becomes $2,000. $5,000 becomes $10,000. Together, we build something bigger than ourselves.

💛 Testimony from the Ant Army

Because of one matching partner:

• Dozens of donors stepped up.

• New recurring pledges were made.

• We celebrated together when the full match was reached.

This is what community looks like in action!

🙏 An Invitation

I am praying for future matching partners who will put fuel on the fire of what God is doing.

Could you or your business, church, or small group become a matching grant donor?

Here’s how you can step in:

• One-Time Match Gift: “I’ll match the next $2,500 given.”

• Seasonal Match: “I’ll match all gifts given during the month of September.”

• Recurring Pledge Match: “I’ll match the first 10 new monthly partners.”

🐜 Together We Multiply

Your generosity doesn’t just give, it inspires, multiplies, and releases others into the joy of giving.
