Corporate Matching
What are Corporate Matching Gifts?
Matching gift programs allow companies to extend their corporate philanthropy by supporting employee charitable giving. When an employee makes a donation to a nonprofit, companies match it by contributing the same amount.
Why Is It Important?
Companies are able to extend their philanthropy reach, while supporting the passions of their employees. Additionally, nonprofits receive double the donation, increasing their ability to provide resources, support research, and raise awareness!
Who’s Doing It?
With increasing participation, over 65% of Fortune 500 companies offer matching programs. General Electric, CarMax, Johnson & Johnson, and Microsoft are just a few big names leading the way.
How Can You Participate?
Make your donation and ask your employer if they offer matching gifts. If so, submit a matching gift request!
