PRESS RELEASE

Help ONAC Meet A Match Gift Challenge!

Oklahoma City, Oklahoma (November 18, 2015)– Help us meet our match while giving your donation even more impact!

The Oklahoma Native Assets Coalition Inc. (ONAC) is a nonprofit organization  that relies on grants, memberships, and generous donations to do our work in Oklahoma.  From now through Dec. 31st, we are conducting a matching gift and year-end campaign to help support our mission.

Will you please help?

If you make a donation to us through the NativeGiving.org fundraising platform, it will be matched by another generous donor – dollar for dollar – up until we hit a total of $500 in gifts. That’s a great way to double the impact of your gift to our organization, so we can serve even more Native families in Oklahoma.

And, of course, your gift to us is tax-deductible as allowed by law.

Beyond that, your gift will have even more power!  It will make us eligible for additional incentives that will help us further our mission. Since we are one of several Native organizations participating in NativeGiving.org, a generous donor has pledged to award a prize of $1,000 to the participating organization that raises the most funds through the website by the end of the year, plus a $1,000 prize to the organization that raises the largest number of individual gifts through NativeGiving.org (regardless of the total dollar amount).

Please give today or soon, because the match and the prize opportunities will end at midnight on Dec. 31st. A gift to ONAC will allow us to greatly increase our reach and effectiveness in our community.
