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.

Challenger Levels

  • Platinum - $20,000+

  • Gold - $15,000-$19,999

  • Titanium - $10,000-$14,999

  • Silver - $5,000-$9,999

  • Bronze - $1,000-$4,999

  • Iron - up to $999

To become a C4C Challenger, make a donation to the Challenger Matching Fund. You can either send us a check (this will avoid credit card processing fees), or make a donation online.

Send your check payable to:
Lander Community Foundation
PO Box 1131

By helping our local nonprofits raise money, we are promoting awareness of their programs, helping them build capacity for accomplishing their mission, and providing technical assistance where needed. Our Lander-area nonprofits provide essential work for our community and boost the local economy.

“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.”
