The 2025-2026 Holiday Match program raised over $1.8 million for local children’s organizations! From Thanksgiving Day through Christmas Day, Stewart’s customers impressively donated over $902,600 to the program. Each individual donation is matched penny for penny by Stewart’s Shops. There are no administrative costs and 100% of the funds benefit local, non-profit children’s organizations.
Generous customers have helped us raise over $40 million since 1986. For more information, please visit the Holiday Match FAQs page.

Please note:
-
- 501(c)(3) Status: Organizations must have valid IRS 501(c)(3) letter. See example here. Please note exemptions include schools, churches, and town municipalities.
- Focus on Children: The majority of the individuals benefiting from the organization’s programs and services must be children under the age of 18.
- Year-Round Impact: Preference is given to organizations that provide ongoing programs and services for children throughout the year, rather than those focused solely on a single event.
- Geographic Focus: We prioritize supporting our local communities and do not fund travel expenses for activities or events outside our market area.
