Matching gifts can be a great way to double or even triple your funds raised! Many employers sponsor matching gift programs and will match any charitable contributions made by their employees. Your company may match your donation as well as donations made by your co-workers if they also apply for matching gifts. Don't forget to encourage your donors to ask their companies about matching gifts too!
Please follow these steps for processing matching gifts:
- Find out if your company has a matching gift program, and if so, how they want you to submit your donation for the matching gift.
- Make your donation and follow your company's instructions to submit for a matching gift.
- Forward your matching gift submission receipt/confirmation email to ADA staff Tom Hall and Carolyn Eisen (thall@diabetes.org, ceisen@diabetes.org)
