Corporate Matching Gifts
Many corporations match philanthropic gifts made by their employees.  Please contact your employer’s human resources office for details about its matching gift program.  Don’t forget to check your spouse’s workplace as well.  Doing so could double and perhaps triple the impact of your gift.  Keep in mind that many retirees as well as board members are also eligible to participate in matching gift programs.
