FAQs
How do I know if my company matches gifts? Sometimes the company will have its matching policy stated either on its website or on its intranet for employees. You can also contact your Human Resources Department. .
How much will my company match? Each company that matches contributions will have its own policy. Many companies match 1:1, meaning that if you give Mater Dolorosa $100 your company will also donate $100, for a total of $200! In addition, many companies have a minimum donation, such as $25, and if a contribution falls under that amount it may not be eligible for a matching gift. Many companies also have a maximum, often matching contributions up to $10,000 or more.
What if my company doesn’t match gifts? If your company does not match employee contributions, you can ask them to consider it! It can even help build employee morale and increase employee satisfaction and retention.
Will my company’s matching gift count toward my pledge? The matching gift is separate contribution directly from the company. Since it is separate from your personal contribution, we are unable to apply it toward your pledge.
