What is Matched Giving?
Many companies will help support charities through a matched giving scheme, whereby they will match gifts donated by their employees.
Some companies have formal schemes for matched funding, while others may consider each request on its own merits.
In many cases, participating companies will match an employee’s donation pound for pound up to a set amount. A number of organisations will even double-match.
To receive a matching gift, donors just have to submit a request to their employers. In some cases, you may have to submit the request before a fundraising event. If the donor’s gift and your organization qualify, the company will send you a cheque for the same amount (or larger depending on the matching gift program)
Below is a list of companies listed online that participate in the scheme but if your company is not listed, please contact your HR department to enquire if such a scheme exists.
