Double the Donation

Does your employer offer matching gifts? 

Many employers sponsor matching gift programs and will match charitable contributions made by their employees.

This means your gift to UCO Foundation could be doubled or even tripled at no additional cost to you.

UCO Foundation is recognized by the IRS as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, making donations eligible for many corporate matching gift programs. Some companies may also match donations made by employees' spouses or retirees. 

 

How to Request a Matching Gift
Step 1: Check if your employer participates 
Search our matching gift database below or contact your company’s Human Resources department to see if your employer offers a matching gift program. If a program is available, request the necessary guidelines and matching gift form.

Step 2: Submit your matching gift request
Each company has its own process, but most programs follow similar steps:
- Obtain a matching-gift form from your employer's HR department or employee- giving portal.
- Complete the donor section of the form. 
- Submit the request according to your company's instructions.

Step 3: Your gift is matched
Once your matching gift request is submitted, UCO Foundation will verify your donation and complete the process with your employer. Your employer will then send the matching gift directly to the UCO Foundation.

Double Your Impact
Matching gifts are an easy way to increase the impact of your generosity. When your employer matches your donation, your support can go even further to help advance the mission of UCO Foundation and strengthen programs that benefit our community.
