Matching Gifts

One of the most popular forms of corporate giving is the matching gift.

A Matching Gift Program is considered an employee benefit program. Employees who express their generosity and concern for charity are often given the opportunity to have their donations matched one-for-one, two-for-one, or even three-for-one. Individual firms set their own employee requirements, such as full-time, part-time, retiree, spouse, etc. And, many have a minimum gift amount – typically, $25.00 or $50.00, but it can certainly vary. The application process, too, may vary. For years, the process was simply to request a form from your employer at the Human Resources office, mail it to the charity along with the donation, and wait for it to be matched. Now, many corporations require online submission. Either way, the employee must follow the directions set forth by his/her company. The gift typically must be made to the charity — Presbyterian Child Welfare Agency, d.b.a. Buckhorn Children & Family Services, for instance – and, an agent of the charity must verify that the funds were received, prior to the company’s approval of the matching gift. Matching Gifts to BCFS are receipted promptly, and a letter is issued to the employee donor to acknowledge receipt of the corporate matching gift.
