Matching Gifts
Does your employer have a matching gift program?
Many employers offer matching gift programs to encourage employees to contribute to charitable organizations. Some provide matching funds to support employee volunteer hours. Most of these programs match contributions dollar for dollar, and some will even double or triple the amount of your gift! This is yet another way in which you can financially support St. Francis of Assisi.

While some companies will not give to religious organizations, many companies will provide matching funds and grants to programs operated by faith-based organizations if those programs: (a) are open to all individuals in the community regardless of religious belief; (b) serve a secular purpose, such as a food pantry, homeless shelters, children educational programs; and (c) do not require participants to join in religious worship as a condition of receiving the services that the nonprofit offers.

Not sure if your company offers a charitable gift matching program, contact your company’s financial office to see if it offers a matching gift program.
