As an employee benefit, many employers will match their employees’ contributions to non-profits. Depending on the company, employees’ gifts may be matched at a rate of 100% which would DOUBLE the size of the original gift to American Wildlands!

American Wildlands’ member Mike Augustine doubles his generous donations to American Wildlands by taking advantage of his employer’s Matching Gift Program. Like many corporate employers, Mike’s employer, UBS, will match their employees’ contributions to non-profit organizations dollar for dollar. By doing so, Mike doubles his gift to American Wildlands each year.

Other American Wildlands members match their gifts with employer donations from Matching Gift Companies such as Microsoft, ChevronTexaco, Honeywell, Gordon & Rees LLP and Union Bank of California. To learn if your employer has a Matching Gift Program, ask your Human Resources Department or search for “Matching Gift Companies” on the Internet.
