Have You Met Your Match?

Thousands of companies, representing more than 15 million people, have matching-gift or volunteer-grant programs. Corporate matching-gift programs are charitable-giving programs created by corporations in which the company matches donations made by employees to eligible nonprofits. Employees can double the impact of their donations by utilizing the existing matching-gift programs that are in place at thousands of employers. The standard match is dollar-for-dollar up to a set limit that normally ranges between $2,000-$10,000 per employee each year.
