Please Take Advantage of Your Employee Match

What are matching gifts? Corporate matching gifts are a type of philanthropy in which employers financially match donations that their employees make to qualified nonprofit organizations. When an employee makes a donation, they’ll request the matching gift from their employer, who then makes their own donation to the same organization. Some companies have a preferred list of charities they partner with, while others match gifts to any charity an employee may support.

Does your company match? If you are not sure, check with your Human Resources department or Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) team to find out if your company offers a matching gift program and what rules apply.

At the Korematsu Institute, we are happy to help you with a receipt of your gift or an acknowledgment.

Don’t leave money for to make the world a better place on the table! If it is available, take advantage of your employee match program this year and every year.
