Matching Gift Programs
Many companies direct their charitable giving programs
through matching gifts.
When an employee notifies the company that he or she has made a charitable
donation, the company makes a gift of the same amount--in some cases double
the amount--to the same charitable organization. Matching gift programs are
a wonderful way for employees to stretch their charitable dollars at no cost
to themselves.
Simply ask your company’s human resource office, personnel department or
community relations office if your company has a matching gift program. If
so, ask for a matching gift form.
Companies with matching gift programs that have
