How do I request a matching gift or volunteer grant?
Requesting a matching gift or volunteer grant is normally a five-minute
process that must be initiated by the donor/volunteer. You can do this
by filling out and submitting a paper match form provided by your employer
or through an electronic submission process. Please search our database
for company-specific information.
How do I submit a matching gift?
1. Donate to a nonprofit.
2. Log into your company's matching gift submission website (if you use the Double the Donation search tool, you will receive a follow-up email linking to this page).
3. Once logged in, search for the nonprofit that you donated to.
4. Select the appropriate nonprofit from the search results. If it is not found, manually enter the organization's details.
5. Register the donation.
6. Submit the completed matching gift request to your employer.
What if I submit my matching gift or volunteer grant outside of the nonprofit’s online donation form or dedicated matching gifts page?
If you submit your matching gift or volunteer grant outside of the nonprofit’s online donation form or dedicated matching gifts page, contact the nonprofit directly to notify them of the request, so they may track the matching funds as needed.
What if I forget to submit my matching gift request?
If you forget to submit your matching gift after selecting your company at the time of donation, you will receive a series of auto-generated emails prompting you to submit your match. The majority of companies offer an all-electronic matching gift submission process.
Are matching gifts and volunteer grants tax-deductible?
While your donation to a 501(c)3 organization is tax-deductible, your matching gift is not tax-deductible. Only your contributions are eligible for tax deduction. Each party involved (yourself and your employer) can only take deductions for contributions they directly made to the nonprofit.
What if I still have questions?
For questions regarding your company's programs, please contact your employer's HR or community giving department. Much of the necessary information is also available on your company intranet. For questions regarding submitting a matching gift or volunteer grant request to us, please contact us using the information provided on this page.
