  • What is a matching gift?

    Many employers will match your donation when you give to a nonprofit. To find out if your employer will match your donation, search for your company in the box above.

  • How do I request a matching gift from my company?

    After you search and find your company in the box above, you will see two buttons:
    – If you click on “Go to matching gift form” it will show you how to apply to your company’s matching gift program.
    – If you click on “See guidelines” it will provide you with information about your company’s matching gift program.

  • I made a donation a few months ago. Can I still apply for a matching gift?

    Yes! It’s not too late to apply for a matching gift! Many companies allow employees to submit match requests for 1 year following the date of the donation.

  • I didn't find my company on the search page. Now what?

    It’s still possible that your employer will match your donation, even if you don’t find your company on our list. Check with your company’s HR manager and ask if your donation can be matched.

  • Can my company's matching gift be applied to a participant, team, or event?

    Absolutely! Matching gifts are a great opportunity to boost participants’ fundraising totals.

  • What are volunteer grant programs?

    Volunteer grant programs are giving programs in which your company may provide a donation to nonprofits if you volunteer.

    For example: If you volunteered your time at an EWF event or helped with an EWF fundraiser, your employer may make a donation for your volunteer time.

    To find out if your company has a volunteer grant program, search for you company in the box above. After searching, you will find information about the giving programs your company offers by scrolling down the page.

  • How is this information obtained?

    We partner with a company called Double the Donation.

  • What if I still have questions?

    For questions regarding your company’s giving program policies, please contact your employer’s HR department.

    For questions regarding obtaining a tax receipt, submitting and verifying a matching gift request or a volunteer grant please contact us at ewf@emilywhiteheadfoundation.org.

Thanks for checking to see if your company offers these programs! It’s a great way to increase your giving impact!
