As you consider your plans to support the campaign for northern Chautauqua, ask your employer whether your gift might be eligible for a corporate match. Many employees are not even aware that their company offers a matching gifts program.
Matching gifts are all-too-often an under-utilized charitable giving tool. Indeed, nearly 80 percent of the 26 million individuals working for a company with a matching gifts program are either unaware of their company’s match or lack specific information. And it might not surprise you to learn that 84 percent of donors are more likely to donate when a match is offered; and 33 percent would give more knowing that a gift would be matched and doubled!
Reach out to the NCCF team to learn more about how a matching gift can help you support the future of our region. We’re happy to help, and we’d love for you and your employer to get involved!
