Dan Smith, with the assistance of 134 others, has raised $1.7 million in his 2016 charity drive.
Smith said he would match the donations up to $175,000 to the following charities: 350.org, Against Malaria Foundation, Give Directly, Just City, Liberation Prison Yoga, Lineage Project, MAPS (Zendo), Massachusetts Bail Fund, Schistosomiasis Control Initiative (SCI), and GiveWell.
Those who wanted to give had to email a copy of their donation receipt to Smith, who would then match it.
An anonymous donor said that if the drive hit $175,000, he would match an additional $125,000 to 350.
