Abstract
This project, completed for Mr. William Singleton of the Singleton Family Foundation, aims to create a more efficient means for philanthropists to maximize donations to charities by networking two parties: donors pledging gifts under the condition that they are matched dollar-for-dollar, and donors matching these pledges. After analyzing current systems attempting to facilitate similar issues and interviewing several sources, we have constructed the website MatchThisGift.com as the scheme of accomplishing this networking process.
