What is a Charitable Matching Gift Program?
One of the easiest ways to give is through a company matching gift program, where a company matches a donation designated by the employee to a charitable organization. These matches are often dollar for dollar, which doubles your charitable-donation impact!
How do I find out if my company offers a matching gift program?
First, check with your company's human resources or payroll department to see whether or not they offer a matching gift program. Then, ask for donation guidelines and a list of eligible charities (make sure that Pillars is one of them!). Last, simply donate through the matching gift program, filing out the appropriate forms to ensure that the match is donated. If your company does not offer a matching gift program, watch for matching opportunities through community or Internet fund-raising efforts.
