This holiday season, SPIRE will be matching up to $25,000 in donations made by SPIRE members who use NetGiver to give to charities supporting housing and hunger services between Giving Tuesday, November 29, and the end of the year.

The holiday season is a time when many of us think of going home and gathering with loved ones around a meal. But unfortunately, this is not a reality that everyone has access to. SPIRE has chosen to focus on housing and hunger-related charities for the NetGiver match this year because everyone deserves to be safe, warm, and fed.

NetGiver is a donation platform that allows credit union members to give to charitable causes with zero fees to organizations or donors. Other payment platforms can charge in excess of 7.5% of the transaction so charities do not receive the full amount of the donation. 

This is the third year that SPIRE has matched member giving this time of year.

To qualify for the match, both the member donating and the non-profit must be registered with NetGiver. Registering is easy and completely free. You can donate online or through the NetGiver app. The maximum match per donation is $250. Learn more about NetGiver.
