Stewart&#8217;s then matches all individual customer donations.<\/p>\n<p>There are no administrative costs and 100 percent of the funds collected and matched benefit children&#8217;s organizations directly within the communities where Stewart&#8217;s Shops are located. Those funds will be allocated in March, the company said.<\/p>\n<p>Children&#8217;s charities can still apply for funding from the Holiday Match program. Applications are available at all Stewart&#8217;s Shops or online at stewartsshops.com.<\/p>\n<p>Applications must be submitted or postmarked by Jan. 31 to be considered for funding. All groups applying must be locally based, benefit children under 18, and be a qualified, charitable 501c3 organization.<\/p>\n<p>A brochure listing charities that received Holiday Match funding last year is available at any shop or at stewartsshops.com.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> The 27th annual Stewart&#8217;s Holiday Match program, from Thanksgiving Day through Christmas Day, raised over $670,000 to from donors, which then doubled to $1.34 million with the Stewart&#8217;s match.
