On October 3, 2012, donations made through Pittsburgh Gives can be designated for your favorite local nonprofit — and your donation will be increased with a percentage of matching funds.  Many local organizations, including the PHCA (hint, hint), are eligible for matching funds.

The rules for donors are simple:

— Only credit card donations received through www.pittsburghgives.org during the 24 hours of October 3, 2012 will be matched for this event.  No donations via check, cash or stock will be accepted.
— Only MasterCard and Visa donations will be accepted and matched for this event.  Discover and AMEX donations will not be accepted or matched.
— Each gift is 100% tax deductible.  The credit card charge will display as a donation to ”The Pittsburgh Foundation” on the donor’s credit card statement.
— The minimum gift per organization is $25.  The maximum gift that an individual can give per organization that will be matched is $10,000.

Please consider donating on this day — to the us, or to another worthy cause.
