Prevail Bank to Match Holiday Donations Up to $1,000
The three-week Holiday Matching Funds Campaign runs November 16 through December 4, 2026, benefiting local nonprofits in Wisconsin communities.
Updated on Nov. 5, 2026 in Philanthropy
Prevail Bank will run its annual Holiday Matching Funds Campaign from Nov. 16 to Dec. 4, 2026, collecting donations at participating branches. At the campaign's end, the bank will match public donations dollar-for-dollar, up to $1,000 per community.
Why it matters
The campaign directs donations to local nonprofit organizations selected by each branch, aiming to support individuals and families in need in those communities. Each participating location supports its own designated beneficiary.
Prevail Bank's matching program is capped at $1,000 per community across the three-week campaign window. The announcement did not disclose a fundraising goal or results from prior years, so the scale of the total match remains unknown.

Timeline
Nov. 16, 2026: Holiday Matching Funds Campaign begins.
Dec. 4, 2026: Campaign ends and Prevail Bank matches public donations dollar-for-dollar.
Holiday Giving Tradition
The 2026 drive continues the annual Holiday Matching Funds Campaign that Prevail Bank runs each year, keeping the same three-week donation and matching structure. The campaign follows the bank's established pattern of pairing branch-level collections with a dollar-for-dollar match.
Wisconsin residents who want to support local charities can give at any participating Prevail Bank branch during the campaign window, and their donations will be matched up to $1,000 per community. Donors can choose to give while visiting a branch for everyday banking during the three weeks.
The takeaway
Giving through a local branch lets donors direct funds to a nonprofit the community already knows, and the match effectively doubles each eligible dollar up to the community cap. Checking which branch supports which nonprofit before donating helps match gifts to causes you care about.
What happens next
The campaign concludes on Dec. 4, 2026, when Prevail Bank will complete its dollar-for-dollar matching of public donations.
