Corporate Matching Gift Programs

Understanding Company Donation Matching

To share in their employee’s passion, many employers have established matching gift programs to further an employee’s donation to a registered charity or institution up to a certain amount. This can double, or sometimes triple, the impact of your initial donation.

Frequently asked questions about corporate matching

What is corporate matching?

Corporate matching is a type of philanthropic program where a company matches the monetary donations made by its employees to eligible non-profit organizations, thereby doubling or even tripling the impact of the employee’s original gift. These programs are often a key component of a company’s corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives.

What is an example of a matching challenge?

A matching challenge is a fundraising event in which a large gift from a corporation or major donor motivates others to give. For example, a company might announce a “matching challenge” to fund breast cancer research, pledging to match all donations up to a set amount, such as $10,000, during a limited timeframe. This challenge incentivizes donors to contribute, knowing their gift will be doubled, and that their participation is critical to meeting the challenge goal.
