Workplace Giving Programs
Many companies support employee philanthropy by offering matching gift programs. By taking advantage of your corporate matching gift program, you can maximize the value of your gift at no additional cost. These include:
- Employee matching gifts often are dollar-for-dollar, but some companies will give double or even triple the original donation
- Volunteer grants where monetary donations are offered as a match for their employees’ volunteer work
- Some corporations offer matching gift programs to the spouses of their company employees and retirees from their companies
