Matching Gifts

Double, Triple, Or Quadruple Your Gift

Many companies will match employees' charitable giving with a gift of their own to institutions of higher education. Many even match charitable contributions made by retirees or directors.

Matching gifts are directed to the same college, program, or scholarship fund as was the employee's original gift. For example, if you make a gift of $100 to the College of Agriculture and you work for a company that has a two-to-one matching gift program, the company will send an additional $200 to further the college's mission of providing an excellent education to agriculture students.

You don't have to work for a Fortune 500 company to take advantage of matching gift programs. While most large companies have matching programs, many smaller companies have them, too.
