How Matching Gifts Work

Many employers—from Fortune 500 companies to mom-and-pop stores—have programs that will match employee donations to GFA. Some match dollar for dollar, while others will donate up to three times your original donation!

Numerous companies also match donations from spouses, retirees and board members. Some will even match the value of volunteer hours and non-cash gifts.

Match Your Donations in Three Easy Steps

1. Search for your employer's name in this box to see if they have a matching gift program.

Search for Your Employer:

If your employer is not listed, talk to someone in your Human Resources department to ask if they match gifts to charities. If not, you could ask if they are willing to start a matching-gift program.

2. Check the program guidelines to see if GFA is eligible to receive matching gifts from your employer. If it appears that GFA is not eligible, contact us so we can inquire about our eligibility. While some employers don't match gifts to religious organizations, they will match gifts to GFA's educational, medical, clean water or other health and human services.

3. Print the matching-gift request form from the link provided through the employer search results, or get a form from your HR department. If it's an online form, just follow the directions to complete and submit it. If it's a paper form, complete it and send it to: GFA World, Matching Gifts, 1116 St. Thomas Way, Wills Point, TX 75169. We'll handle the rest!

Your employer will send the matching donation directly to GFA, and we will apply it to the same project(s) as your original donation, unless that is not allowed by your employer.

The impact of your matched investment will multiply in God's hands and touch many lives! We are grateful for your partnership in transforming communities through God's love.
