Match Your Gift
Your Company May Double Your Impact!
Many companies sponsor matching gift programs to support charitable contributions made by their employees. Gifts from employees’ spouses and retirees may also qualify for a matching gift.
Plus, if you volunteer with us, your company may have a volunteer match program.
Search below to find out if your employer has a matching gift or volunteer match program.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a matching gift?
Employee matching gift programs are corporate giving programs that match your gift up to a certain amount. It’s a quick, easy way to double your contribution!
Example: You work for Boeing and donate $100 to KVC. Boeing’s matching gift policy has a minimum gift requirement of $25 and matches up to $10,000. After you submit your matching gift form, Boeing will write a check to KVC for $100.
Some companies also match gifts from employees’ spouses and retirees.
Search above to see if your company will match your gift, and find everything you need to apply.

You start the process by completing your employer’s matching gift form. Check with your employer to find out if you need to complete a paper form or if you can do it online.

How does a volunteer match program work?
It could be called something like a “volunteer grant program” or “Dollars for Doers.” It’s a program in which companies make donations to organizations where employees volunteer regularly. It’s a great way to turn your volunteering into added financial support!
Each company has specific guidelines for its volunteer match program. Use the search tool above to see if your company offers this benefit and how to submit your volunteer time. You can always contact your company’s HR department for more information.

It’s still possible that your employer will match your donation, even if you don’t find your company on our list. Check with your company’s HR department and ask if your donation can be matched.
How is this matching donation information obtained?
