What Are Matching Gifts?

What are matching gifts?

Many employers will match donations given by their employees to qualified charitable organizations. Some will even double or triple their employees' donations! To determine if your employer will match your donation to the foundation, you may contact your human resources department. Once you've determined that your employer will match your gift, you must complete the matching gift form provided by your employer and send it to the foundation. The foundation will verify your gift, complete the form, and return it to your employer. Once we receive the matching gift from your employer, we will acknowledge both you and your employer for the gift.

Also, sometimes employee spouses and retirees are often eligible as well. If your company matches, request the appropriate forms from the company's Department of Human Resources and mail it with your donations, or process the matching gift request online. Our tax ID number (EIN) is: 13-3850823.
