More companies now include religious organizations in their matching gifts program. Check your employer’s policies to see how your matching gift can help our parish. If your employer does not match donations made directly to religious organizations, they may match donations made to educational institutions, such as our school, and to institutions providing a service to community members regardless of religious beliefs, such as food banks, like our food pantry, or our bed ministry.
Companies usually match donations at a 1:1 ratio, but some will match at a 2:1, 3:1 or even a 4:1 ratio. Matching gifts can make a huge difference for nonprofits of all sizes.
