Did you know many companies offer a matching gift program to encourage giving among their employees? Weish4Ever's employer matching gift program provides an easy way to increase the impact of your donation through corporate matching gifts. When you make a donation, your company can Double or even Triple the value of your generous gift in a matter of minutes.
A matching gift is a charitable donation by a corporation that matches an employee’s donation to an eligible nonprofit organization, most often dollar for dollar. Thousands of companies across the United States (and some companies internationally) offer matching gift programs to their employees as part of a corporate giving philanthropy. This means millions of individuals are eligible to participate in a matching gift program. In addition, 65% of Fortune 500 companies offer a matching gift program, and some companies even double, triple, or quadruple donations!
The main concept of matching gift programs is quite simple. A $100 donation to Weish4Ever may be eligible to be matched by a corporate employer, literally doubling the donation for a total of $200. The employer will validate that the original donation is eligible to be matched according to internal guidelines, and will send a donation of the same value (or higher, depending on the parameters of the program) to W4E.
You can search for a company’s matching gift information above. Simply type in the name of the company and choose the correct auto-fill suggestion. Details regarding the company’s matching gifts and volunteer programs (if applicable) will appear with specific instructions for submitting matching gift requests to that company. If a specific company does not appear, this does not necessarily mean that the company does not offer matching gifts. Please reach out to your employer's HR or Community Giving team to learn more about your company-specific policy.
