Matching Gift Program
What are Matching Gift Programs?
Corporate matching gifts are a type of philanthropy in which companies financially match donations that their employees make to nonprofit organizations.
When an employee makes a donation, they’ll request a matching gift from their employer. The employer then makes their own donation to the nonprofit.
Companies usually match donations at a 1:1 ratio, but some will match at a 2:1, 3:1, or even a 4:1 ratio.
