Matching Gifts

If your company has a matching gift program, this is a terrific way to increase the size of your gift. You can double, and sometimes even triple, your gift , and you will receive full credit for both gifts: yours and your company’s.

More than 750 corporations support independent school education through this method. If your or your spouse's company participates in a matching gift program, ask you employer for a matching gift form, fill it out and send it to the school along with your gift. If you are not sure whether your company has a matching gift program, you can check with its Personnel / Human Resources Department to find out.
