Matching Gifts
Participating in a matching gift program is a great way to maximize the impact of your donation to a charitable organization.

What is a matching gift?
Many companies will match the charitable gift made to a non-profit organization by an employee, often dollar for dollar, thereby doubling the amount of money the organization will receive.

See if your company has a matching gift policy. There are a few easy steps to take:

  • Check with your human resources or payroll department to see if your company sponsors a matching gift program.
  • Make a gift online or by mail.
  • Fill out the donor portion of the matching gift form you can obtain from your company.
  • Mail the form.
