Do I qualify for the Employer Matching Gift program?

It’s easy to find out if your employer is included among companies that participate in this program. Here are three ways to learn this information:

1. You can visit our Make a Gift page to search for your employer. Simply start typing your company’s name where it says, “Select your employer.” If your company is on the matching list, its name will appear. You can then fill out the rest of the form to make your gift, and you will receive an email with further instructions. If your company is not on the list, your results will say, “No matches found.”
2. You can check with your company’s personnel or human resource department. It has been our experience that the staff in these departments are well-versed in these matters.
3. You can email Jennifer Steiner in Advancement Services to inquire if your company participates in the Employer Matching Gift program.
