Matching Gifts Motivate Donors to Show up Strong on Give STL Day

Wings of Hope supporters showed up in force on Give STL Day, the annual day of giving benefitting St. Louis-area nonprofits. Wings of Hope has long participated in the online giving event, but 2026 shattered previous fundraising totals and surpassed this year’s $140,000 goal by raising $151,547. The campaign’s success was driven by matching gifts that helped double the impact of every donation. Thank you to our incredibly generous matching donors and all who made a gift. Your generosity will help us continue changing and saving lives through the power of aviation.
