Frequently Asked Questions
What is a matching gift?
Some employers offer a corporate matching gift program where they will financially match your donation to a registered charity. It can apply to donations you have recently made, donations your spouse has made, or a fundraiser you intend to host. Companies typically match donations at. a1:1 ratio, but some will match 2:1, 3:1, or even a 4:1 ratio.
How do I request a matching gift?
Use the search tool above to check if your employer offers a matching program. If they do, fill out the request form with the information provided above and submit it to the email listed.
I made a donation a few months ago. Can I still apply for a matching gift?
Some matching programs apply to recent donations made by you or your family member. Use the search tool above to see if your employer has a matching program and specific restrictions.
Can my company's matching gift be applied to a participant, team, or event?
Yes, matching programs include participation in fundraising events.
Are corporate matching gifts and matching donation challenges the same thing?
No. A matching donation challenge (also known as a matching grant) is typically time-gated. Matching gifts are not.
How is this information obtained?
The corporate matching gift program information is obtained and provided by Double the Donation.
I didn't find my company on the search page. What now?
You can still make an impact! Every donation we receive helps to provide more Canadians with Down syndrome access to essential programs and resources.
