What are corporate matching gift programs?
Matching gift programs are charitable giving programs set up by corporations in which the company matches donations made by employees to eligible nonprofit organizations.
For example, if a donor works for Bank of America and donates $250 to a K-12 school, university, or 501(c)(3) organization, Bank of America will "double the donation" by writing a check for $250 to the same organization.
As a registered 501c3 nonprofit, Friends Of Uwharrie is eligible to receive matching gift funds from your employer! Check with your employer to see if they participate in this program which is so vital to non-profits. Here is a link to a list of nationally known companies which participate in matching gift programs: http://nnedv.org/downloads/Other/Matching_gifts_companies.pdf
