Why Matching Your Gift is So Impactful

Corporate matching gift programs are a powerful way for companies and employees to unite and create lasting change. When you and your employer participate in a matching gift program, your donation to Food For The Poor could go twice as far — providing more meals, safer homes, and greater hope to families living in extreme poverty. 

These programs not only strengthen corporate social responsibility efforts but also inspire employees by giving them the opportunity to make an even greater impact. Your matched gift helps bring lifesaving aid and new opportunities to the most vulnerable communities we serve. 

Use the corporate matching gift database below to see if your employer participates. Your gift could double in just a few simple steps!

Employer Matching Gifts FAQ

A corporate matching gift program is a philanthropic initiative in which a company donates an amount, often equal to or greater than an employee’s donation, to the same charity.

Here’s an example. Let’s say you work for State Farm and donate $100 to Food For The Poor. State Farm’s matching gift policy has a minimum gift requirement of $25 and matches at a 1:1 ratio. After you submit your matching gift form, State Farm will double your donation by also writing a check for $100. Gifts from part-time workers and retirees may also qualify for a match.

It’s a quick and easy way to double your contribution!

DONATE
Make a 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.
