We are ramping up for NH Gives over here at Friends of Mascoma!

This year, our friends at the New Hampshire Center for Nonprofits have added a new giving incentive: a bonus pool!

What's a Bonus Pool you ask?

A bonus pool is a proportionate match that is determined by the overall amount that you raise online. We believe that this will result in a more equitable distribution of funds. Site-wide matching dollars will be distributed as a bonus pool this year.

How does the Bonus Pool work?

Every organization that raises $300 or more between 5pm June 7 and 5pm June 8 will receive a proportionate amount of the bonus pool. FOM's portion of the bonus pool depends on a few things.

Final total of the bonus pool.
Final total of online donations by organization raising $300 or more
The amount that your organization raises online

The formula for the bonus pool is: (FOM’s Amount Raised online / Total Amount Raised online by all organizations raising $300 or more) x Total Amount in Bonus Pool = FOM's Share of Bonus Pool.

What does this mean for you, our loyal friends, and donors?

It means that every donation really counts this year. EVERY. SINGLE. DONATION. COUNTS. The higher FOM’s total online donations, the higher percentage of the bonus pool FOM will receive.

How you can help NOW: We are hard at work trying to secure internal matches, fundraising champions, and we’ve initiated a friendly rivalry amongst MVRHS alumni classes to raise money. If you are interested in providing a match, becoming a fundraising champion, or helping your class compete please email Info@friendsofmascoma.org
