Frequently Asked Questions
What is a matching gift?
Employee matching gift programs are corporate giving programs.
Here’s an example. Let’s say you work for Walgreens and donate $100 to Orchard Village. Walgreens’ matching gift policy has a minimum gift requirement of $25 and matches at a 1:1 ratio. After you submit your matching gift form, Walgreens will double your donation by writing a check for $100. Gifts from employees’ spouses and retirees may also qualify for a match.
It’s a quick and easy way to double your contribution! Use the search tool above to see if your company will match your gift and find everything you need to apply.
