Businesses multiplying community generosity.
Corporate Match the Pack is the partnership engine that pairs Hearts of Hope Foundation's community-led campaigns with business matching multiplying the impact of every dollar raised by the public.
For a business, matched giving is one of the highest-leverage forms of corporate social impact: the public raises money through activity they care about, the business matches those dollars, and the initiative supported receives twice the support with visibility, reporting, and authentic community connection that traditional sponsorship struggles to replicate.
Corporate Match the Pack is designed to work for businesses of every size from local card stores matching $500 weekends, to mid-market sponsors backing full campaign seasons at $25K–$100K, to major partners building multi-initiative, multi-year matching commitments.
Every match is documented, every campaign has a public reporting page showing community-raised and corporate-matched totals side by side, and every partner receives post-campaign reporting on where the matched funds went and what they achieved.
Corporate matched-giving consistently outperforms standalone CSR sponsorships across the metrics that matter: public donors give more when they know their contribution is matched, businesses see authentic community engagement that traditional logo-based sponsorship struggles to replicate, and the combined impact community-raised plus corporate-matched typically doubles a campaign’s reach without doubling its cost to either party.

A partnership conversation defines: campaign focus, matching cap, reporting cadence, and the initiative to be supported.
Hearts of Hope runs the campaign with the public; the business matches in real time or at campaign close.
Matched funds are allocated transparently, with a public campaign page showing community-raised and corporate-matched totals throughout.
Post-campaign reporting shows the real-world impact of the matched total.
Store Match Weekend is the signature TCG Corporate Match event participating card stores host fundraisers while a corporate partner doubles every dollar raised during the agreed window.
