Fund Our Match!
Your gift today will inspire thousands more — and multiply impact around the world.
Each year, Heifer offers powerful matching gift opportunities during the holiday season — giving donors a chance to multiply their impact. But those matches don’t just appear. They’re made possible by strategic supporters like you, who give early to fund the match itself — setting the stage for generosity all season long.
With your help, we can raise $750,000 in time for the holidays, and use those funds to motivate tens of thousands of year-end gifts. Will you lead the way?

Frequently Asked Questions
When will my gift be used for a match?
Your gift will be used during our year-end holiday match campaigns, which run from November 1 through December 31, our most active season for giving. This is when your support can inspire the greatest number of donors to give.
What match offer will my gift be used for?
That depends on how much we’re able to raise for the Matching Gift Fund. Last year, thanks to generous supporters like you, we offered a 3X match in November and a 4X match in December. Your gift helps determine how bold our match offers can be this year.
How do I know my gift is being used effectively?
We’ve been a trusted nonprofit for more than 80 years, with a 4-star Charity Navigator rating and detailed financial reporting. You can feel confident your gift is used with purpose — and impact.
Is my gift tax-deductible?
Yes. All donations to Heifer International are tax-deductible in the U.S. as allowed by law. You’ll receive a donation receipt for your records after you give.
Can I make a larger or multi-year commitment?
Absolutely. If you’d like to discuss a leadership-level gift or long-term support for our match campaigns, we’d be honored to talk. Please contact us directly:
