I've head the promo for QVC's matching contribution and think it's very misleading.  They claim to match contributions up to $100,000.  After thinking about the potential outlay by the Q, I've decided it must be $100,000 total for all combined contributions, otherwise there is the potential for them having to match millions of dollars.   I know the Q is basically stingy and surely is not going to do that.  They infer if you donate $100,000 they'll match it but I don't think so.....  It sounds very generous but really isn't that big of a deal for a multi-million dollar corporation with millions of customers.

@Kachina624  You very well may be right, but I'm thinking most of us are just giving 20 to 100 dollars. I could be wrong. I would have donated anyway, but the opportunity of having it doubled is worth going for it. What do I have to lose?

I just typed in giving Tuesday in the search box at the top of the page to get it.

@sunshine45.   There you go

I don’t think QVC is misleading but, I have participated in giving Tuesday on Facebook for years and they do something similar. I think this year it’s up to $7 million matching on their part. Quite a few of the animal charities that I am familiar with will also have anonymous donors who agreed to match up to a certain amount. I would never expect the donor, even a large company, not to put a limit on their total matching amount.

Gosh, I never interpreted it that multiple people could give $100,000 and they would match it! It makes much more sense that they have a matching cap of $100,000 total. I prefer to look at the glass as half full -- it may not be "that big of a deal for a multi-million dollar corporation" to give $100,000, but they didn't have to do it at all and it's $100,000 these charities would not have had otherwise.

It is nice that they offer this, however, they can't seem to run their company very well, I would be hesitant to trust them with my charitable donations! JMO

It was pretty obvious to me that they meant a total match of all combined contributions up to $100,000.  That's the way almost all of these matching things work.  

And your donation, by the way, would not be directly to QVC.  You contribute directly to the charity that you selected through the link provided.
