Stand-To Match Day 
November 11, 12, 13, 2026

Stand-To Match Day provides an opportunity for growth for participating organizations that strive to do good works and an opportunity for the community to support these causes. On this day, donations made through the Armed Forces Community Foundation to participating funds will receive a 50% match that can be used for their most crucial needs. 

Individual gifts between $25 & $3,500 will receive a 50% match per organization.

Each organization is eligiable for a total match of $1,750. 

THANK YOU to the Patterson Family Foundation that will award up to $100,000 to AFCF for funds raised during match days, with up to $50,000 saved for an endowment for operating costs of the foundation and/or grants  and up to $50,000 for participating organizations. 

Please mark your calendar and plan to be a part of this wonderful day of giving to benefit a variety of Armed Forces Non-Profit Organizations.
