Employee Matching Gift Programs
The employee benefit that keeps giving, year after year.
Adding a matching gift program to your company’s benefits package shows your employees that you care about what they care about. A matching gift is a charitable donation that is tied to a separate contribution to the same nonprofit by another donor, in this case, your employee. Since the prospect of a matching gift encourages donations, many companies offer matching gift programs to motivate employee contributions to nonprofits.
Matching Gifts
The ‘Why’ for the Human Resources Department
You know the value of attracting and retaining a diverse workforce. Robust benefits often include more intangible offerings that appeal to a new generation of employees. Matching gift programs say a lot about your company’s commitment to your community and to your employees. Most of all, matching gift programs from the Greater Kansas City Community Foundation are easy to establish and manage for businesses of all sizes.
The ‘Why’ for the CEO or Business Owner
You love to give. That we know. You may have an existing foundation, donor-advised fund or several other corporate giving initiatives. If you haven’t explored the benefits of adding a matching gift program, now is the time. When you establish a matching gift program for your employees, you show an unwavering commitment to philanthropy and to your workforce.
