Employee Gift Matching Programs

Matching Made Easy Many companies offer matching incentives for employee giving. To get your donation matched by your employer, speak with your HR, Payroll or Corporate Giving Departments and ask about their donation matching program. Many companies will ask you to complete a matching gift form which you will then need to submit to VBC with your gift. After that we’ll take care of the rest. Following your company’s procedures may not ensure a matching gift, but it will increase the likelihood of success. Gift matching is an easy way to double the impact of your donation and the benefits you receive for giving.
