English term or phrase: The group will match any contribution you make
contexte: le discours du CEO du Groupe ABC Tech

"You know, the world faces many challenges. Recently, a major catastrophe occurred in Asia. You will soon receive a letter from me announcing that ABC Tech will donate 100, 000 euros. ABC will match any contribution you make, and we will double that match. So I ask you to think about the people in Southeast Asia, many of whom are homeless and have lost members of their family. Many have lost their entire family. So be generous at this time of the year – think about them, help them – and ABC Tech as well."

merci d'avance

Explanation:
Pour traduction de MATCH, voir GDT, qui fournit, entre autres, la traduction ADAPTER.
