In September 2007, the Jewish Funders Network (JFN) and the Partnership for Excellence in Jewish Education (PEJE) announced the next round of MATCH. AVI CHAI and four other funders have created a pool of $5 million to provide 50% matches for gifts of $25,000-$100,000 to Jewish day schools by donors who are making their first-ever gift to Jewish day school education. Donors who have previously made a gift to Jewish day school education may still participate if their current gift to a Jewish day school is at least five times greater than their largest previous gift.
In past years, MATCH has been extraordinarily successful and has infused the day school field with nearly $20 million in new gifts.
