Have you found a match?

Michael and Charlene - a great match!  

I just spent five minutes validating a matching gift request.  Only five minutes to receive an additional $500 for our Village Support Fund.

How can that be?

Matching gift programs are charitable giving programs set up by corporations in which the company matches donations made by employees to eligible nonprofit organizations. Through these programs, when you make a donation your company will also make a donation to the charity in the same amount or “match” your gift. Some companies will even double or even triple match a donor’s gifts.

Today's donor made a $500 contribution to us in December. He requested a matching gift from his employer. The company contacted us to make sure he made the donation, I just validated it, and in a week or so, the company will send us an additional $500 gift.  With just five minutes of time, our donor's contribution was doubled!

How can you find a match?

Speak with a representative at your company to see if they participate in a matching gift program and see if Camphill Kimberton is eligible to receive matching gift funds. If your gift is eligible, simply request a matching gift form or website link from your employer, and send it and your contribution to Camphill Kimberton's Development Office, or make your gift online here.

Some companies who have recently matched gifts are:
Glaxo Smith Kline
Intuit
Johnson & Johnson
Swiss Re
UBS

Feel free to contact me if you have any additional questions.  Thanks for your continued support!
