Matching Donations We encourage people who will donate this year to take advantage of the billions of dollars in employer matching funds that get left on the table each year. People can get their donations doubled in many cases by their employer. Most of the Top 500 US companies offer Matching donation programs as a big part of their corporate social responsibility initiatives, but awareness of them is often shockingly low. As a result, billions of dollars that can go to deserving non-profits, towards vital social programs, are never distributed. At least $10 billion in workplace matching funds go unclaimed each year; often, corporate employees do not even know about the opportunity for their employer to match their charitable gifts. People can look up their company to see if their donations will be matched. Employers typically match donations from their employees up to a certain dollar amount per employee per year. All funds not utilized by employees by the end of the calendar year are never distributed to charities. Check here to see if TPF will match your donation automatically! Be sure to ask your employer’s HR department if they participate in Gift Matching and get their procedures.
Please check to see if your charitable interest is eligible for Matching Donations from The Palatines. We will match Donor funds on several of the specific Keystone Programs and Fund Raisers for your participation and caring.
