Your gift to Special Olympics will be MATCHED

Your gift will be DOUBLED by our partners at JD Finish Line when you give to Special Olympics today — $25 becomes $50, $100 becomes $200, and $1,000 becomes $2,000.

For every person with ID helped, there are 13 others in the U.S. waiting on the sidelines to get in the game. Will you give them a chance?

Don't miss this opportunity — give today to help transform TWICE as many lives in your community and around the world.

Special Olympics International (SOI) is committed to efficiency and transparency. We communicate with our supporters, donors, and prospective donors by email, postal mail, phone, and other means, both to request contributions to our cause and to educate the public about Special Olympics’ year round sport and health programs, volunteer opportunities, and Unified events in local communities and around the world. These efforts help advance our mission to change attitudes toward people with intellectual disabilities and to transform lives through the joy of sport, every day, everywhere. As a result, in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) guidelines and Internal Revenue Service (IRS) guidance, SOI allocates a portion of our fundraising costs to program services. As a nonprofit organization that is exempt from federal taxation, we ensure our donors’ money is spent as efficiently and effectively as possible.
