What’s a matching gift?
It’s a benefit that many companies provide, where they match all or part of their employees’ charitable donations. This means your company will make a donation to the cause as a direct result of your donation.
Contact your Human Resources department to see if your company has a program and what it involves. If you’re not sure, check the box and you can follow-up with your Human Resources department after your donation has been submitted.
