Before you make your Annual Fund gift, find out if your employer has a matching gift program.
Many companies support their employees’ favorite philanthropies by matching their gifts dollar for dollar or sometimes even two to one. If your employer has such a program, all you need to do is request a matching gift form from the human resources department, fill it out, and send it in to Gordon according to your employer’s guidelines. It’s that simple.
To find out if your employer is one of the more than 1,000 companies that has such a program, please contact Siobhan Sheerar Welsh in the development office. Here’s a short list of some of the companies that participate:
