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.

Discover if your company participates in donation matching. Contact your HR department for additional details.
