Employee matching gift programs are corporate giving programs in which the company matches donations made by employees to eligible nonprofit organizations. It’s an easy way to double your contribution to us!

Volunteer grant programs are corporate giving programs in which companies provide monetary donations to organizations where employees volunteer regularly. If you volunteer with The Center through Cycle for the Cause, Young Leaders, or corporate volunteer events, it’s an easy way to provide us with additional financial support!

Requesting a matching gift or volunteer grant is normally a 5 minute process which must be initiated by the donor/volunteer. You can do this by filling out and submitting a paper match form provided by your employer or through an electronic submission process. Please use our search tool above to locate your company’s specific matching gift information.

If you submit your matching gift or volunteer grant outside of a matching gift online tool, email development@gaycenter.org directly to notify us of the request, so we can keep track of the matching gift request.

If you forget to submit your matching gift after selecting your company at the time of donation, you will receive a series of auto-generated emails prompting you to submit your match. The majority of companies offer an all-electronic matching gift submission process.

While your individual donation to The Center is tax-deductible, your matching gift is not tax-deductible. Only your contributions are eligible for tax deduction. Each party involved (yourself and your employer) can only take deductions for contributions they directly made to the nonprofit.

We partner with a company called Double the Donation. If you see anything that should be changed, please email Double the Donation’s team at data@doublethedonation.com
