The Stellar Development Foundation (SDF) has announced that they are launching an XLM-donation-matching program, in which they will match donations up to 2.5 million Stellar XLM, 0.53%.

They are reaching out to the Stellar and crypto community to contribute to the cause within their means. The SDF hopes to kick off the initiative by donating 100,000 XLM to each of the six charities, with the remaining funds used to match community contributions on a one-to-one ratio throughout April.
