want to know that tough problems can be solved.
• I want to know what I’m getting into and how I’m getting out.
• I need credible reasons for confidence that this will work.
• I need to see how this advances my work.

IDA Match

Should be Easy
• Straightforward, easy to understand
• Direct impact
• Tangible, measurable
• Incentives and self-help appeals to a wide range of donors
Has Challenges
• Recurring cost
• Unknown amount
• No obvious exit
• Risk of being the final funder, left holding the bag
![Page 24: Show Me the Money](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062302/56816648550346895dd9c221/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
What Appeals to Donors?
• Opportunity to invest to direct ly change l ives , and for a modest investment.
• An easy investment to make.• The “match” principle – donors’ donations
are earned by recipients’ work and savings.• Leverage – the value of a donors
investment is doubled by the match and expanded because of the other supports and strategies.
![Page 25: Show Me the Money](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062302/56816648550346895dd9c221/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
• Provision of financial education and asset-specific training assure donors the benefits to youth are lasting , transformative.
• Ability to “know ” the youth – directly or indirectly through stories.
• The policy dimension – I’m valued for my voice as well as my money.
• Data, data, data – Accountabi l i ty and ability to know the actual savings, asset purchases.

Recipe for the Long Term?
• Plan A: Policy – e.g. Langevin Stark bill. AFIA reauthorization
• Plan B: Widen the Pool– A few seed funders?– Larger number of relatively smaller investments?
• Plan C: Innovation– Sustainable, self-financing structures?– Endowment?– Dedicated interest or other revenue stream?
