They gave $1 million. No strings. Done deal.
They will match up to $1 million of what donors give in the next year

...asking for donations from the public to match that mil. So one $1M from the Jesters plus whatever they can raise, inspired by the Jesters gift.
None of the articles I read specifically suggest the Jesters plan to match anything else with additional funds at this time.

I think you're probably right. We're being asked to match their million. It's awkward wording.

and 1 from donors. Regardless, yes, $3 million max.

The Jester's just donated all of it so they're keeping the "match component" to just try and maximize donation money
