Looking to amplify your chapter’s fundraising efforts? Each calendar year, your chapter can apply for the Chapter Matching Fund Program to support a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. This is a fantastic opportunity to double your chapter’s
impact and make a meaningful difference in your community.
How It Works
Your chapter hosts a fundraiser benefiting a nonprofit organization of your choice. Once your application is approved, Royal Neighbors will match the funds raised—up to $1,000. Each year, you can select a different nonprofit to support.
Important Details
If your chapter holds multiple fundraisers for the same nonprofit to meet the $1,000 match amount, that’s perfectly fine. Simply submit a final report after the last fundraiser, and one check (up to $1,000) will be issued to the nonprofit for the
total matched amount.
- When applying, please indicate if you plan to hold multiple fundraisers.
- If you decide to add an additional fundraiser after submitting your application, notify your Member Engagement Specialist to update your application accordingly.
Eligibility Requirements
- Open to all active chapters in good standing.
- Chapters must have achieved the $700 funding level at least once in the past year.
- Chapters must have submitted all required reports for the previous year, including Quarterly Reports and Annual Report.
Note: Chapters chartered within the past year are eligible based on their reporting records since their start date.
Program Guidelines
- Chapters must apply and receive pre-approval before participating.
- The chapter must host and lead the event; assisting another organization’s event does not qualify.
- Event insurance is required and can be obtained through your Member Engagement Specialist.
- Each chapter may use this program to support one nonprofit organization per year.
- Matching funds will only be awarded to fundraisers supporting registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations.
- Chapters must submit a final report after the fundraiser has been completed. Proof of donation must be included in the final report.
