FYI They're matching $8 million globally, not specific to OMF.
Hi can you please elaborate on this? If the money doesnt go to OMF the title must be a gross misrepresentation of what is going on.

OK....this is a real bummer. I donated to the OMF twice this year....and not once did I find out about this matching grant from FB.

We need a list of organizations that receive triple donations or even double and when they're doing it. I feel like I've just wasted my money and it's for such a worthy cause. Is this information available prior to a short time of making donations?

Another beef....I don't go on FB except about once every 6 wks. or so. A group I donated to, has completely taken over my page. True, I don't use it myself, but the fact is that people come on with questions and in need of help and there is no one there. Basically, my page has been hijacked and I'm not giving one dime to this org. next year and have already notified them not to send further messages.

I'm never this grumpy....but this has annoyed me. This isn't doing anyone any favors at all. Yours, Lenora.
