Become A Challenger
Challenger Matching Fund
The Challenger Matching Fund is the magic behind the Challenge For Charities. This fund boosts every donor’s contribution by providing a match to all participating nonprofits. It’s a powerful incentive that encourages community members to give—and to give more.
In 2024, a record-breaking 117 Challengers contributed $200,849 to the Matching Fund—our largest ever, for the third year. Let’s make 2025 even more remarkable.
To honor 15 years of C4C, we’ve set a goal to increase the number of Challengers by 15%—and we can get there with your help. Will you join us by making a Challenger donation today? Any amount makes a difference.
The 2025 Challenge for Charities giving period has ended.

Lonnie Bull, Edward Jones, Platinum Challenger
“I feel good about donating to Challenge for Charities because that money stays here locally.
I could give money to any number of national charities, but that money then leaves our town. I want to support my neighbors—the people and organizations here in Lander.”
