Sincerely, vijay Jackson6612 Joined on Wed, Dec 27 2006 Senior Member 3,688 It’s a difficult question for any man to answer… Whether to follow his dreams no matter what… Or to give in slowly and let life lead you where it will.

"Matching funds," means giving the same monetary amount. If Bob gives you $5 and I "match Bob's funds" then I'll give you $5. M.
