The Gay And Lesbian Fund for Colorado has announced a $1 million matching grant to the American Red Cross that will bring a total of $2 million in aid from Coloradoans to Hurricane Katrina disaster relief efforts. The grant will match individual donations from Coloradoans up to $250 dollar for dollar thus doubling the effect of every donation.
While I'm not gay or lesbian (I'm as hetero as it gets), I did a bit of research and this is the best donation matching grant I've found to date. You can donate any amount you wish but basically, it turns your $25.00 donation into a $50.00 donation. Of course it's tax deductible, it takes less than 2 minutes to complete and you can even give in anonymity. Additionally, you don't have to actually live in CO for your donation to be matched. This just seems like the right thing to do. Give what you can...your dontation (no matter how big) may make all the difference in the world to somebody or some family.
