Matching gifts made easy!
Do you work for a company that matches charitable donations? If so, it’s easy to amplify the impact of your generosity.
Many companies offer to match gifts to nonprofit organizations made by their employees. Most corporations award a 1:1 match, while some elect to provide a greater matching amount to further promote their employees’ philanthropy. Companies will typically match a gift up to a year after it’s made, so even if you made a gift many months ago, it’s not too late to magnify its impact. If you are married, your spouse’s company may also be willing to match funds for donation as well, further increasing the value of your donation!
1. Contact your company’s Personnel Office or Human Resources
