Usually associated with corporate grant makers, employee matching gifts often are dollar-for-dollar, but some companies will give double or even triple the original donation. Some companies may also give matching gifts for employees’ volunteer efforts.
Procedures vary with each company. Typically, individuals must submit forms to their employers. Sometimes gifts made by spouses and retirees qualify as well. Individuals can obtain more information about matching gifts benefits from their human resources department.
Please send Scarritt Bennett Center a copy of the matching gift paperwork, so that we can be on the look out for the funds and assist your employer in any way possible.
