Corporate Matched Gifts
Perhaps one of the best kept secrets in the corporate world, is the fact that many companies will match gifts donated by their employees.
A list of companies who we understand currently operate matched giving schemes can be found here. However, this list is not definitive! If your employer is not listed, please contact your Human Resources department to find out if they operate a matching gift scheme. A number of companies abroad, especially in the US, also operate similar schemes.
In most cases, the company will match your donation pound for pound up to a specific level; a handful of organisations even double-match.
Please contact your Human Resources department to make a matching gift, which should be able to give you a form to fill in.
