Corporate Gift Matching
Double Your Gift
Anne* had been financially supporting her brother in Southeast Asia for over twenty years. A few years ago, she and her husband both enrolled in their employers’ matching-gift programs. Now, Anne’s brother receives more support, and Anne wishes she would have taken advantage of this program all along!
One of the smartest ways to give to a Wycliffe project or missionary is through a corporate matching-gift program. Over fifteen thousand U.S. companies just like Anne’s will match their employee contributions to charitable organizations like Wycliffe. If you or your spouse works for one of these companies, there could be several thousand dollars available for you to direct to an organization of your choice.
Some companies also match volunteer hours or gifts from spouses, retirees, and board members. To see if your employer will match your donation, please contact your company’s HR department or matching-gift coordinator. If your company does not have a matching-gifts program, you may want to ask them to start one. Please tell your co-workers about Wycliffe and encourage them to contribute as well.
If you have questions, send an e-mail to matching_gifts@wycliffe.org or call 407-852-3899.
