BECOME A MONTHLY MATCHMAKER
WHAT IS A MATCHMAKER?
Matchmakers are monthly donors whose ongoing donations help us create life-changing friendships by "matching" children (Littles) and mentors (Bigs). Not everyone has the time to be a Big Brother or a Big Sister, but anyone can be a Matchmaker!
WHAT DO MATCHMAKERS DO?
Each time Big Brothers Big Sisters pairs a child with a mentor, we start something incredible: a one-to-one relationship built on trust and friendship that can blossom into a future of unlimited potential. We call these pairs "matches." When you donate $25.00 a month, you become a Matchmaker; your monthly sponsorship contributes to a lifetime of friendship, support, and happiness for each match.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
It's easy! Click the Donate Now button above, select the monthly gift option, and choose to donate $25.00 each month.
You may choose to donate more or less each month, $25.00 is the minimum to support a new match every month. Your donation will be automatically and securely deducted from your debit or credit card each month.
WHY SHOULD I BECOME A MATCHMAKER?
Matchmakers tell us that when they view their charitable giving relative to other monthly expenses, it really puts things in perspective. Being a Matchmaker is the easiest way to make a huge difference for a child needing additional support, with 90% of donated funds supporting youth.
