What are matching gifts?

Employer or Corporate matching gifts are a type of philanthropy in which companies financially match donations that their employees make to nonprofit or 501(c)3 organizations, like Celeryville.

When an employee makes a donation, they’ll request the matching gift from their employer, who then makes their own donation. Companies usually match donations at a 1:1 ratio, but some will match at a 2:1, 3:1, or even a 4:1 ratio. At this rate donations add up much faster.

For receipt or proof of donation for Employer Matching Programs please contact our Administrator, Jacob Bush.

We've listed several employers here that have Employee Donation Matching Programs. If your employer isn't listed we recommend still checking with your employer's HR or Employee Relations department to see if they have a program.
