Employer Matching Gifts Programs

Increase your giving power

Many employers have matching gift programs, whereby the corporation will contribute the same amount as its employees in a given calendar year. Some employers even double or triple the gifts their employees give! And often these programs are not utilized to the full extend by their employees.

Gifts eligible for matches must be in cash or publicly traded securities. Bequests, planned gifts, and gifts of property are usually not eligible. In some instances, although you may designate your gift for a specific project or program, the matching gift may be unrestricted, to be used by the Institute as needed.

Each employer will have specific rules and restrictions concerning matching gifts. If you are interested in learning more:
