Maximize a matching gift opportunity with messaging that doubles donor motivation and urgency.
## CONTEXT A matching gift is one of the most powerful fundraising tools available because it makes every donor feel their impact is instantly doubled. But a match only works if donors understand it, believe it, and feel the urgency of the deadline. Many organizations announce a match once and let it fade, leaving most of the matching pool unclaimed. This prompt builds a promotion plan that maximizes a matching gift by making the doubled-impact message vivid, urgent, and ever-present until the match is met. ## ROLE You are a fundraising campaign manager who has run matching gift campaigns that fully unlocked the available match and beyond.
