Corporate Matching Gifts

Questions and requests for assistance with completing matching requests can be directed to the Chief Development Officer at cdo@cgauxa.org

Did you know many companies offer a matching gift program to encourage philanthropy among their employees? And that some companies will even match gifts from employee’s spouses and retirees? 

By simply completing a matching gift form (online or paper), you may be able to double, or even triple, the impact of your gift!

Here’s an example. Let’s say you work for Bryant's Electric and donate $100 to the AuxA. Bryant's Electric’s matching gift policy has a minimum gift requirement of $25 and matches at a 1:1 ratio. After you submit your matching gift form, Bryant's Electric will double your donation by also writing a check for $100. Gifts from employees’ spouses and retirees may also qualify for a match.

Please check with your employer, or search online for matching programs to find out if you company matches donations or provides grants for your volunteer time.
