Challenge gifts have been pledged by generous donors to Boise State University. Each challenge, once the goal is met, will release an additional donation to the university. Goals can be based on gifts received or the amount of dollars raised.
Matching gifts are dollar-for-dollar donation matches, up to a certain amount. When you make your gift, our matching donors will make an equal gift.
