I think there's some confusion here, I assume Renata was referring to 
having an organization that would match all donations for a certain day 
or week, as has happened in some of our past fundraisers. That link is 
information for people whose employers have a gift-matching program as 
one of their employee benefits, which can cover donations made at any 
time, even if they are not made during the current contributions campaign.
