A matching gift is a corporate giving program where your employer matches your donation to a nonprofit, often doubling (or more) the impact of your gift.

Search your employer in the matching gifts tool and follow the instructions provided. Most companies use a short online form or portal submission.

Approval timelines vary by employer. Many matches are processed within a few weeks, but some may take longer depending on company review cycles.

Some companies allow matches from retirees and/or spouses of employees. Check your employer’s program rules in the matching gifts tool for eligibility.

Many employers offer volunteer grants (also called “Dollars for Doers”), where they donate based on volunteer hours. Eligibility depends on your employer’s policy.
