Corporate Matching Gifts

Corporate Matching Gifts are a type of philanthropy in which companies financially match donations that their employees make to nonprofit organizations.

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.

Companies of all sizes match donations their employees make to nonprofits because it’s an easy, structured way for them to support good work in their communities. CSR, or corporate social responsibility, is an important factor in how the public perceives brands and companies these days.  

To make a matching gift, contact your employer to get the proper documentation and forward it to Roberta Berrent, 323-761-8617 and she will complete the process and answer any questions you may have.
