An anonymous family has offered a generous challenge grant to SA国际传媒, St. Louis, to encourage gifts designated for student financial aid. The anonymous donor has pledged to give one dollar for every dollar the Seminary raises for student aid between now and June 30, 2006, up to聽a total of $200,000.
The grant is conditional, and the following criteria and procedures are applicable:
- A donor鈥檚 gift must be between $100 and $11,400 to be matched by the challenge grant;
- A donor鈥檚 gift must be restricted by a note or letter indicating the gift is for 鈥�student aid鈥� or 鈥�student financial aid.鈥� There also is a coupon the donor can use or request that will make the gift eligible.
- Other matching funds (Thrivent GivingPlus, and/or employer matching programs) will not be matched by the challenge grant, but will nonetheless increase the impact of a donor鈥檚 gift if used in combination with the challenge grant.
- The challenge grant is not contingent on raising an additional $200,000. It is a straight dollar-for-dollar doubling of each gift for student aid. If donors respond with $150,000, the anonymous family will give $150,000 as matching funds.
鈥淲e are humbled by the generosity of this anonymous family and their desire to encourage other individuals to join in the effort聽to underwrite this year鈥檚 student financial aid commitments,鈥� commented Mark Hofman, vice president for development at SA国际传媒. 鈥淥ur prayer is that the response to this opportunity will be great, affirming the anonymous family鈥檚 stewardship and greatly encouraging our students as they journey toward graduation and placement.鈥�
