Matching Gifts
Double your impact!
Did you know that there is a way for you to double your donation to UCAN at no additional cost to you? It's true. Many employers today offer what is known as a matching gift program. The idea is that when you contribute to UCAN, your company may match your gift to us with a donation of their own, often dollar for dollar. Some companies may even donate gifts to match their employees' volunteer hours. In effect, your contribution and support for UCAN is actually doubled!
A matching gift donation from your employer allows them to contribute to the community where they do business, where their employees live and where the community needs it most.

How do you get started?
Matching gift procedures vary from employer to employer, so the best thing would be to visit your human resources department to see if your employer has a matching gifts program. If so, then obtain their matching gifts form, which should have step-by-step instructions on what to do. If we can help, just give us a call!
