Matching Gift Programs

Many companies allow their employees to direct their charitable giving programs through matching gifts. When an employee notifies the company that he/she has made a charitable donation, the company will make a gift of the same amount, and in some cases double the amount, to the same charitable organization.

Matching Gift Programs are a wonderful way for employees to make their charitable dollars stretch farther at no cost to themselves. Simply ask your company's human resources office for a matching gift form, and we will do the rest!

It is extremely easy to process. Gift matching procedures can vary from company to company. The following example is typical:

A. An employee/retiree obtains a matching gift form from the employer, usually from the human resource department or company website.

B. After completing the form, the employee/retiree sends it along with the donation to the Diocese of Superior.

C. The Diocese certifies on the form that it has received the gift and meets the company’s guidelines for receiving a matching gift.

D. The Diocese returns the form to the company.

E. The company verifies eligibility of the employees/retirees and the Diocese recipient and sends the check to the Diocese.
