Fifty-five nonprofits come together this March for the tenth annual Match Madness fundraising campaign. From March 1-31, donations made by community members to these local nonprofits will be matched up to $150,000 by the Partnership for Better Health, with support from WellSpan Health and The M&T Charitable Foundation.
Participating nonprofits address the Social Determinants of Health for residents, so that everyone has the opportunity to reach their highest potential for health. These organizations provide housing, food, and resources, while building connections and strengthening communities.

By giving to the Partnership’s campaign in March, community members and businesses can increase the impact of their donation. Each nonprofit receives 100 percent of donations made in their name, as well as a portion of $150,000 in matching funds from the Partnership for Better Health. These matching funds are available thanks to the generous support of WellSpan Health, The M&T Charitable Foundation, Partnership board members, volunteers, and staff.
To support local nonprofits through the Match Madness campaign, individuals may donate online, by check, or stock transfer between March 1-31. Gifts by credit card can be made through the Partnership for Better Health’s online donation portal: https://fbh.fyi/Match25
Donations by check must be made payable to “Partnership for Better Health” and mailed to 274 Wilson Street, Carlisle, PA 17013 before March 31. Donors should designate the participating nonprofit organization(s) they would like to support on the memo line.
Since inception, the Partnership for Better Health’s annual initiative has raised over $5 million for local nonprofits, who provide essential services and resources to residents in Perry County, parts of Adams and Cumberland Counties, and the Shippensburg Area.
