What are matching gifts?

• • Corporate matching gifts are a type of philanthropy in which companies financially match donations that their employees make to nonprofit organizations.

  • When an employee makes a donation, they’ll request the matching gift from their employer, who then makes their own donation. Companies usually match donations at a 1:1 ratio, but some will match at a 2:1, 3:1, or even a 4:1 ratio.
