Stretch Pool Sponsors
General Incentive Stretch Pool, Small Nonprofit Division (Total Value = $30,000).
Thanks to our most generous supporters, every eligible organization that raises $5 or more on Do More 24 Delaware will receive matching dollars on a proportionate basis from their respective stretch pool, thanks to Spur Impact, United Way of Delaware, Longwood Foundation, Welfare Foundation, Laffey-McHugh Foundation, Delaware Community Foundation, and other community supporters. Your organization's portion of the "stretch" depends on how much is raised in total donations. For example, if your organization receives 3% of the total donations raised by all eligible organizations participating on Do More 24 Delaware, then your organization will receive 3% of the stretch pool. The formula for the stretch pool is: (Individual Nonprofit's Amount Raised / Total Amount Raised on Do More 24 Delaware from eligible orgs) x Total Amount in Stretch Pool = Individual Nonprofit's Share of Stretch Pool.
Only nonprofits with an annual operating budget of $500,000 or less will be eligible for the Small Nonprofit Division General Incentive Stretch Pool. Organizations eligible for the DDOA Stretch Pool will not be eligible for the General Incentive Stretch Pool, but will be able to win other eligible prizes through the giving day event, which may increase their respective stretch pool share.
