Frequently Asked Questions:
Do pledges count? No. All funds must be received before the challenge deadline.
If a donor is lapsed (was previously a member of a giving society but has not given to FCS for one or more Fiscal Years) and gives $250 or $1,000, will they be considered a new member of the giving society? Yes.
If I have already made a contribution to FCS this Fiscal Year, can I apply what I’ve given so far and increase my donation to reach one of these donor levels? Yes.
Are donations from businesses going to be matched by The Leon Levine Foundation? No. Only funds that come from individuals will be matched by the foundation.
