How does the matching gift program work?
You can automatically increase the value of your donation if your employer participates in a matching gift program. (Contact your employer for participation details and to obtain the matching gift form or click here to find out if your company matches). Please be aware that many companies will match only the tax deductible portion of your contribution. Your company’s matching gift form needs to accompany your contribution. (Note: If the total of your donation and the amount matched by your employer does not equal the amount due to renew your current priority benefits, you are responsible for the balance).
If your company offers a matching gift program, your gift to the UW-Madison may be doubled or even tripled. Obtain a form from your human resources or personnel department, complete and return it to us and we will do the rest. Opportunities for matching gifts are sometimes available from a spouse’s employer as well.
