Match the Moment Giving Instructions
Thursday, May 29, 2025 – Friday, June 6, 2025
Penn’s Match the Moment Challenge is a rare opportunity to double your philanthropic impact on Penn Athletics with the fiscal year ending on June 30th, the timing couldn’t be better. $1M in match money will be available to all of Penn’s schools and centers, allowing your gift of up to $25,000 to be matched dollar for dollar starting on Thursday, May 29th! Annual funds are the lifeblood of our programs and our top fundraising priority each year – with your help through this matching initiative, we can elevate our ability to provide world-class experiences to our student-athletes.
For internal tracking and match allocation purposes, we’re asking supporters to follow a slightly different process than in the past when making a gift. To participate in the challenge and support your favorite Penn Athletics program, please use the following instructions to ensure your gift is matched and allocated to the Varsity Annual Fund of your choice.
To secure a match through this initiative, all gifts must be made to the Varsity Sports Fund, with the specific sport you wish to support indicated in the comments section of the online giving page. After the challenge closes on Friday, June 6, all gifts will be reallocated to the appropriate annual fund based on the information provided in the comments section.
