Corporate Matching Gifts
Double Your Impact with Corporate Matching
Every dollar counts. Every gift matters.
Employer matching gift programs allow you to team up and combine your employee benefit and donation to Historic Yellow Springs to make a greater impact. If your employer matches gifts, your donation can be doubled or tripled to nonprofit organizations like Historic Yellow Springs. You can make the most of a qualifying corporate matching gift program in a few simple steps:
Step 1: Reach out to see if your donations are match eligible. We will search our database to see if your employer matches Historic Yellow Springs’ gifts. You may be able to use a previous donation or need to make another.
Step 2: Review matching gift instructions. We will confirm and provide any specific instructions on how your gift can qualify for your company’s matching gift program if there is a known program in place.
Step 3: Submit your match request to your company! Follow your company-specific matching gift instructions to have your Historic Yellow Springs donation doubled or tripled by your employer.
