Add even more value to your gift with a match!

​Matching gifts provide you with an easy way to potentially double, or even triple, your original donation!  Many organizations supplement their employees’ contributions to tax deductible, nonprofit causes (specifications of the match vary based upon each matching organization).  In fact, your company, a spouse’s company, the company whose board you serve on or even a company that you retired from may match your gift.
 
If you are not sure if you qualify for a matching gift, please use the Matching Gift Search Engine below. The tool will provide you with information regarding minimum and maximum match as well as steps on how to get started. 
 
Check with your employer to see if they will match your donation!
