Matching gifts are a great way to make your donation go further.
A matching offer is a great way to encourage other people to donate. People are motivated to give when they realize that their donation will go further and make a more significant impact. According to nonprofitssource.com, an estimated $2-3 billion is donated through matching gift programs annually. Your donation will be doubled or even tripled by providing a matching gift. Please get in touch with us for more information regarding this. American Charities states employees are twice as likely to donate when their company offers a matching program. When companies match employee donations, they commit to helping good causes succeed.
