| Corporate Matching Gifts A large number of corporations offer employee Matching Gift programs. This is an easy way to double or sometimes even triple the value of your gift. A complete list of the corporations with Matching Gift programs for elementary schools is available from the Community Development Office. Contributors should obtain a matching gift form from the Human Resources office of their employer and mail or drop it off at the Community Development Office along with their gift or pledge payment. |
