Giving Tuesday matching fund doubles donations to women's education
We can't hold it in any longer.
A generous donor has committed $1,000 as a matching fund for Giving Tuesday on December 2.
Every dollar you give will be DOUBLED, up to $1,000. Your $10 becomes $20. Your $50 becomes $100. Your $100 becomes $200.
Someone just handed us a financial superpower, and we're about to use it to fund scholarships for women in Southwest Washington.
The math that changes lives
Woman of Wonder's goal is to raise $2,200 on Giving Tuesday. That's the value of one complete scholarship. But with the matching fund doubling every contribution, we're looking at potentially $3,200 total.
That's not one scholarship. That's a scholarship PLUS the beginning of another. That's two women's futures. That's two sets of critical thinking skills coming back to Clark County and Southwest Washington to make our communities better. It’s almost like twins.
Let's do some dream math:
If 50 people give $20 on Giving Tuesday (with the match: $2,000)
If 25 people give $40 (with the match: another $2,000)
Plus everyone else's contributions
We're not just hitting that $2,200 goal. We're surpassing it. We're funding scholarships for women who'll graduate and immediately start improving Southwest Washington.
Why your Giving Tuesday donation matters
Woman of Wonder isn't just about scholarships. We're about:
Kindness Couriers who send encouragement to students during their toughest moments
The White Elephant Book Exchange that builds community every March
Supporting women who've survived domestic violence and showing them they're worth investing in
Honoring Pat Stephens' legacy by recognizing women who make their communities better
We're creating a culture of radical generosity that ripples through Southwest Washington. When you donate to women's education, you're investing in critical thinkers who'll challenge assumptions, solve problems, and build the kind of forward-thinking, vibrant community where everyone thrives.
The impact stays local
Here's what makes charitable giving to Woman of Wonder so powerful: our scholarship recipients don't leave Southwest Washington after graduation.
They become teachers at Clark County schools. Nurses at PeaceHealth Southwest Medical Center and Legacy Salmon Creek Medical Center. Social workers serving families throughout Clark and Cowlitz counties. Business owners on Main Street in Longview and downtown Vancouver.
Your donation stays local, strengthening our community for decades.
Since 2018, Giving Tuesday donors have contributed over $2,500 to women's education through Woman of Wonder. This year, with your help and the matching fund, we're going to shatter that record.
Your Giving Tuesday game plan
On December 2, every dollar you give gets matched. That means your generosity goes twice as far.
Start planning your contribution like it's the Super Bowl of charitable giving, because honestly, it kind of is.
Maybe you can give $25. Maybe $50. Maybe $100. Whatever you contribute, it doubles instantly through the matching fund.
And if you've been thinking about supporting women's education in Southwest Washington but haven't pulled the trigger yet, this is your moment. This is when your donation creates maximum impact.
