Requesting a matching gift is normally a five-minute process that you, the donor, must initiate. You can do this by filling out and submitting a paper form provided by your employer or through an electronic submission process.
There are typically three steps:
- Donate
Make your donation and save your tax receipt. Many matching programs will allow for up to one year after you’ve made your donation to request a corporate match. - Search
Using the search tool, find out if your company offers a matching gift program and review the guidelines. No results? Contact your HR department directly to ask if they offer a matching gift program. - Match

- Download your company’s matching gift verification form using the link provided in the search results. Print it, fill it out, and send it to us. We’ll take care of the rest!
