Thousands of organizations have programs to match employee gifts either in whole or in part. In some cases, gifts from spouses, directors and retired employees are matched. We urge you to explore this possibility as it may double or, in some cases, triple your gift. Ask your employer about their matching gift program or check with our office to see if your company is listed as a matching gift company.
