Workplace Giving and Matching Gifts
1+1=2. This math concept is one of the simplest we ever learned. Now, you can make your individual gift to CFLS even more effective! By taking just a few minutes to fill out a form, you can increase the effectiveness of your gift. Instead of helping one student get tutoring during the school year, you might be able to help two! Instead of helping one individual to get the training they need in order to enter the workforce, you and your employer can help two formerly homeless, low-income, or underemployed individuals get jobs and gain independence.
Ask your employer if there is a matching gift program at your workplace. It is a simple and easy way to increase your giving power! And some companies offer matches of more than 100%. Check with your company's corporate giving or community relations staff for more information.
Here's how a matching gifts program usually works:
Fill out the donor portion of the matching gift form supplied by your employer and enclose it with your donation to CFLS.
We then fill out the organization part verifying receipt of the donation, the amount of the gift and the portion that is tax-deductible, then return it to your company. We notify you once we receive the matching gift.
Also, if you are a member of Thrivent Financial for Lutherans, you may be eligible for a matching gift. Click here to learn more about Thrivent's matching gifts program.
