What is a matching gift and how do companies match donations?
A matching gift is part of a company’s philanthropic initiatives that reward charitable donations. It occurs when an employee donates to a non-profit organization and the employer will also donate to that organization, most often dollar for dollar. Companies will sometimes also match donations made by spouses, retirees, and board members.
INN supporters can request a matching gift from their employers online, by email, or via payroll giving. Please contact your company’s HR or finance representative for details.
INN is happy to confirm your gift or to satisfy any other requirements your company may have. Please contact lisa@inn.org for more information.
Donate through payroll deduction
Many companies will also let you set up automatic, tax-deductible donations from your paycheck. It’s a no-fuss way to donate, and it gives our teams the reliable support they need to be ready at a moment’s notice.
Contact your employer’s Human Resources or Corporate Social Responsibility team to ask how you can sign up for donations through payroll deductions.
