Employee Giving
Grow your gift by contacting your human resource department about the different employee match programs available to you. Employee match programs are an easy way to increase your giving without going over your budget. All you have to do is give your human resources department our contact information and make your gift. We will confirm your gift with your employer and they will match your gift according to their policy. Many employers will even match your or your partner’s gift even after you retire.
