Matching Gift Contributions

Many corporations match their employees' charitable contributions. If yours is among them, you can easily increase the impact of your gift in some cases, by 100% or even more!

But it's up to you. We can't initiate the matching process. As easy as 1-2-3
1. Contact your employee benefits office and request a matching gift form.
2. Complete the employee section of the form and send it to us.
3. Sit back and watch your support grow!

Frequently asked questions

1.- What is a matching gift? Many companies set aside special funds each year to match contributions their employees make to qualified nonprofit organizations. The amount of the match is a matter of company policy, but it varies from 50 cents for each dollar, up to $2 and even $3 in some cases. It might also vary from year to year.
2.- Must I be a full-time active employee to have my contribution matched? Not necessarily. Most organizations match part-time employees and retirees. Many also match spouses, annuitants, and directors. Some companies even give matching dollars for volunteer hours their employees give to qualified organizations.
3.- Are there any restrictions on how much I contribute in order to be matched? Most companies have a minimum contribution they will match usually around $25 and a maximum annual amount, anywhere from $1000 to $10,000.
4.- Is there a time limit on eligibility? Companies do require that we complete and return the form within a set time period, usually 90 days. We recommend that you submit the form at the same time you make your contribution, or as soon thereafter as possible.
5.- How long does it take for the gift to be matched? The process varies from one company to another. Some companies issue their matching payments only once or twice a year, so it may take as much as a year for your gift to be matched.
