Employer Matching Gifts Program

"Employer matching gifts" are contributions from a corporate employer that match contributions to a non-profit organization by a corporate employee. Sometimes called "matching funds" and defined as grants that are made to match funds provided by another donor, some funders require the match in order for them to give. Ask your personnel or public affairs office if your company has a matching gifts program, and find out how you can double your own contribution by participating.
