Facebook offering dollar-for-dollar matches on Giving Tuesday, 12/03/2019

What you need to know:

-Donations will be matched by Facebook and Paypal starting at 8 AM EST, Tuesday 12/3/2019.

-$7 million in matching funds are available and will be awarded first come first serve.  Last year the funds ran out within the first 10 seconds, so it is important to follow the instructions below.

- Facebook will match up to $20,000 in donations per donor and up to $250,000 per organization.

At 7:50 AM EST:

Log on to your desktop computer (preferred) or mobile device and log in to Facebook

Click on this link. It takes you to the fundraiser page for ACMF.

Click “Donate” and then fill out all the information on the box that pops up, including donation amount, credit card information and donation frequency. Do NOT click the green donate button at the bottom of the box yet.

Keep an eye on your cell phone clock, or if possible, open this link to the US atomic clock in another tab. This is the most accurate clock available. A few seconds might make or break the match, so accuracy counts.

At the moment the clock hits 8:00:00 AM:

Click the green donate button on the Facebook donation window and make your contribution.  You will not see any information about matching funds - that's ok.  Facebook is tracking all donations and ACMF will receive information directly about the amount of funds that were matched. Your donation through Facebook is tax-deductible and ACMF receives 100% of donated funds!

If you have any questions or would like to be walked through the donation process, please call Zachary Hobin at 773-578-9522 or email chambermusicannapolis@gmail.com
