It’s hard to believe we’ve already reached November—the semester has been flying by and we are soaking up every moment with our residents and visiting students.
As we approach the end of the year, one of our long-time donors has stepped up to give above and beyond—and they hope to inspire others to join them.
Because of this, we’re excited to invite you to join our “Above and Beyond” matching challenge.
Join the Challenge:
From November 1st through December 31st, any new gift that elevates your 2024 giving to a level above and beyond what you gave last year will be matched dollar-for-dollar by our generous donor, up to $50,000 total.
For example: Suppose you gave $100 last year and $100 earlier this year. If you now give an extra $50 before the end of the year, that $50 gift is considered “above and beyond” your previous year’s giving and is eligible to be matched.
This means:
- If you’ve already exceeded your 2023 giving, all new gifts are “above and beyond” and will be eligible to be matched.
- If you are a new donor, your entire gift will be eligible.
- If you haven’t yet matched your 2023 giving, once you do meet your 2023 giving threshold, any additional gifts that elevate your 2024 giving “above and beyond” your 2023 giving will be eligible.
Your support during this season is essential to meeting our annual budget needs, and we’re deeply grateful for the generosity and inspiration of this donor, as well as for your partnership and faithfulness.
Together, we’re expanding God’s Kingdom and witnessing powerful transformations in student lives as they grow in a fully integrated faith. Below, you can read just one story of impact from a Chesterton House alumni to get an insider glimpse of how your partnership directly contributes to life change.
Thank you for considering how you might go above and beyond in your partnership this season. We are excited to see what we can accomplish together.
It is because of YOU that students are able to share stories like this. We are so thankful for your investment in Cornell, students, and Chesterton House. Thank you for joining us in this challenge and for all the many ways you already go above and beyond. We are grateful!
