Double your impact through corporate matching.
Many employers match charitable donations made by their employees. Corporate matching programs can double or even triple your contribution, multiplying the impact of every dollar you give.
How Corporate Matching Works
1. Check Eligibility
Contact your employer's HR department or check your company's intranet to find out if they offer a matching gift program. Many large and mid-size companies do.
2. Make Your Donation
Donate to any Global Reach Initiative campaign. Keep your donation receipt handy, as you may need it when submitting your matching gift request.
3. Submit a Match Request
Complete your company's matching gift form, either online or on paper. Your employer will verify the donation and send their matching contribution to us.
Benefits of Corporate Matching
Multiply Your Impact
Corporate matching programs typically match donations at a 1:1 ratio, effectively doubling your gift. Some companies match at 2:1 or even 3:1, tripling or quadrupling your contribution.
Tax Benefits
Your original donation may be tax-deductible, and your employer's matching gift provides additional support to the cause at no extra cost to you. Consult your tax advisor for details.
Employer Engagement
Participating in your company's matching program demonstrates employee engagement with corporate social responsibility initiatives and strengthens your organization's community commitment.
Community Impact
Matched donations help fund larger programs, reach more communities, and create sustainable change. Every matched gift brings us closer to achieving our mission of global impact.
