MATCHING GIFTS
Maximize your impact
A matching gift is a type of donation in which companies match the charitable donations that are made by their employees. A common match ratio is 1:1 (when an employee donates $100, their company will also donate $100). Matching gift programs vary across companies, so make sure to inquire with your employer for specific details!
