Thousands of U.S. bosses let their employees tell them what to do - well, at least, how to spend some of the corporation's money. They've spruced up their employee benefits package by becoming matching gift companies: firms that match, dollar for dollar, the contributions their current and retired employees make to higher education. Some even match two or three to one. Talk about cleaning up!
Your gift to the University of Utah could be worth twice as much (or more) - quite a tidy little sum! To find out if your company makes this sparkling offer and get the nitty gritty on their matching gift requirements, click on our Matching Gifts Employer Search.
If your company matches, pick up a form at your Benefits or Human Resources office (some companies' forms are even available here online), fill it out, and send it in with your gift. That way everyone gains: Your gift has double the impact, U students get more support, and your company gets a spotless reputation for being a good community citizen. A clean sweep!
