SFF is matching donations on some orgs through the end of 2025 (see the list), which signals which orgs they want more people to donate to.
As I work for an org which receives matching, I think it’s important to note this has nothing to do with which orgs SFF likes best.
When you apply for an SFF grant, you can opt into receiving some of your funds as matching pledges. That gives you more weight in the S-Process algorithm; the S-Process treats it like it’s able to give you >$1 per dollar it spends.
So it’s just about what orgs felt would be best for their fundraising, not endorsement from the SFF.
Thanks, I didn’t see the page on how matching works. I edited that section to fix it.
My first draft actually said something more accurate, but then I edited it to be worse :/ I have edited it back to say something more like the original version.
