Company Match Makes Your YouGiveGoods Gift Go Even Further
Don’t leave company matching gifts on the table. Your generous YouGiveGoods donation can have twice the impact when you add your company match. The funds or goods that come from corporate match programs make a real difference to our charity partners. But, unfortunately, corporate match is frequently forgotten.
Did you know?
- An estimated $6-$10 billion in matching gift funds go unclaimed per year 1
- Mentioning matching gifts in campaign appeals results in a +71% increase in the response rate and a +51% increase in the average donation amount (and that’s prior to receiving matching gift funds)2
We make it easy! Simply submit for your match with the tax receipt you receive right at check-out!
When submitting your match through the YouGiveGoods Foundation (EIN 36-4787040), 100% of the cash match will be passed-through to the drive event's charity recipient or used to purchase more, new goods for that charity (at the discretion of the drive organizer and noted on the event page.)
