Employer matching gift programs allow you to take advantage of your employee benefit to make a greater impact. Many organizations will match the value of charitable gifts made by employees, retirees, and/or their spouses. Most of these programs match contributions dollar for dollar, and some will even double or triple the amount of your gift!
You can increase your impact in a few simple steps:
- Check to see if your employer matches gifts. If you don’t see them in our database, check with your employer’s HR department.
- Review the matching gift requirements for your organization and follow the instructions to request a matching gift
The matching gift request is a quick process which must be initiated by the donor. Some employers have an electronic submission process. Other employers have a paper form that must be completed and sent to us for verification. Your employer’s information in our database will provide the information you need to request a matched gift.
You may be able to match a previous gift. Many companies allow employees to submit match requests for up to one year following the date of the donation.
Your matched gift can also be applied to a participant or team for our Race to Cure Sarcoma events or other events. Please be sure this information is included with your gift.
