Make matching gifts

Many companies and foundations sponsor matching gift programs for their employees’ philanthropic interests. These companies may be willing to double or even triple the value of charitable gifts made by employees or their spouses. You will be recognized for the full amount of your gift plus any employer match.

Browse our matching gift database or contact your company’s human resources department to find out if it has a matching gift program.
