Employee matching gift programs are corporate giving programs in which the company matches donations made by employees to eligible nonprofit organizations. Requesting a matching gift is normally a five-minute process which must be initiated by the donor. You can do this by filling out and submitting a paper match form provided by your employer or through an electronic submission process. It's an easy way to double your contribution! Check with your employer's human resources department to see if they have an employee match program! Learn more about employee match programs HERE.
