GIVE AT WORK

What is corporate matching?

Corporate matching is the term used by companies that match donations made by their employees to their chosen non-profit organizations. Matching donations are an easy way to double ( sometimes even triple) a charitable contribution. Thousands of U.S. companies and corporate foundations match their employees’ gifts to nonprofits organizations, such as Hood River Adopt a Dog (HRAAD).

Over 18 million people work for companies that match donations but an estimated $4-$7 billion goes unclaimed each year – that’s a lot of dogs we could rescue!

Check out the link below to see if your company matches donations.

Participate in Workplace Giving Campaigns:

Many employers sponsor annual workplace giving campaigns through which employees can elect to make payroll deductions to selected charities. Encourage your employer to participate in such a campaign and see if HRAAD is a possible choice. What a convenient way to help the animals!

If you have any questions, or would like to have HRAAD attend your company’s Workplace Giving Fair, contact us today!
