THE 2011 IWMF MATCHING GIFT PROGRAM
By now, you’ve probably heard that some generous WMers
have pledged to match up to $50,000 in new gifts to Member
Services so that the IWMF can receive $2.00 for every $1.00
you give. Here’s how the matching program works:
• If you are a new member, your entire gift will be
matched.
• If you’ve been a member and you increase your
2011 gift to the Member Services Fund over what
you gave last year, the increase will be matched.
• For example, if you gave $200 to Member
Services in 2010 and you now give $300
total in 2011, the extra $100 will be
matched and the IWMF will receive a total
of $400.
• If you make a 3 year commitment to the Member
Services Fund, your gift for the first year will be
matched.
• For example, if you’ve been donating $200
a year and now commit to giving $200 a
year for the next 3 years, the IWMF will
receive matching funds and your 2011 gift
will grow to $400.
If you can’t make an extra gift now, suggest that your family
and friends make a gift in your honor or in memory of
someone else. Send them to https://www.iwmf.com/donate/
donate.aspx and ask them to select “in honor of ” or “in

give will be matched. With the holiday gift giving season
coming soon, keep this idea in mind instead of a material gift.
Your generosity will help the IWMF Member Services Fund
stay strong and expand services such as:
• Increasing awareness of the IWMF by reaching
out to new patients with our information and
bringing new members into the IWMF family;
• Translating our materials into Spanish and other
key languages so others can have access to our
materials in their native language;
• More frequent updating and expansion of our
publications;
• Improving and adding to our Support Groups;
• Completing our Patient Database.
Make your commitment today. The first $50,000 in qualifying
Member Services gifts will be matched.
