Stewart’s Holiday Match campaign runs through Christmas
CAPITAL REGION, N.Y. » The thirty-fifth Annual Stewart’s Holiday Match campaign kicked off on Thanksgiving Day and runs through Christmas Day at all shop locations. The program supports nonprofit organizations impacting children.
Last year, customers donated an incredible $895,000 to the program, doubling to more than $1.88 million with the Stewart’s match. The funds were able to support 1,715 local children’s organizations across the 32 counties where Stewart’s Shops are located.
“Nonprofits are strained now more than ever with so much need, this means every donation can make a difference. Holiday Match is so successful because of our customers’ generosity and their money goes twice as far because we match each donation penny for penny,” Stewart’s Shops President Gary Dake said.
Local organizations impacting children are encouraged to apply for funding online at https://www.stewartsshops. com/holiday-match/holidaymatch-overview/ beginning on Thanksgiving day. The deadline for submission is Jan. 31, 2022. All groups applying must be locally based, benefit children under 18, and be a qualified, charitable 501c3 organization. A listing of all the local organizations that received funds last season is available online.
Stewart’s Shops thanks its customers, shop partners, and media partners for their support each year. Stewart’s Holiday Match is a 501c3 foundation; all donations are taxdeductible. Stewart’s gladly accepts funds from groups or businesses, but only matches individual donations.
