Many employers sponsor matching gift programs and will match all or a percentage of any charitable contributions or volunteer hours made by their employees, retirees, and/or spouses. Check with your company about its matching gift policy or use our Double the Donation Matching Gift Database to find out if your company participates. If your company is eligible, request a matching gift form from your employer, and send it completed and signed with your gift. We will do the rest.
