Your Employer May Help Your Gift Go Further

Your gift helps children and families served by KVC find care, hope and healing. Through an employer matching gift program, your company may be able to match your donation and increase your impact.

Some companies also provide grants when their employees volunteer with nonprofit organizations like KVC.

Your gift could make twice the impact!

If your employer offers a one-to-one match, a $100 donation to KVC could become $200—without any additional cost to you!

Every company has different guidelines, match amounts and deadlines. Check your company’s employee portal or contact your human resources team to learn what programs are available.

How Employer Matching Gifts Work

1. Make Your Gift

Donate to KVC and save your confirmation or tax receipt.

2. Check Eligibility

Search your company’s employee portal or ask your human resources team whether your employer offers a matching gift program.

3. Submit Your Request

Complete your employer’s online or paper matching gift form. Your employer will contact KVC if additional information is needed.

That’s it! A few minutes may help your gift go even further for children and families in need.

Two Ways Your Employer May Give

Matching Gifts

A matching gift program allows an employer to contribute to the same nonprofit an employee supports.

Some companies match donations dollar for dollar. Others may offer different match amounts or set minimum and maximum gift levels. Eligibility rules vary by employer.

Some programs may also include gifts made by employees’ spouses or retirees.

Volunteer Grants

Does your employer reward volunteer service?

Volunteer grant programs provide financial donations to organizations where employees give their time. These programs may also be called:

• Volunteer matching programs
• Volunteer grants
• Dollars for Doers

Your employer may require you to volunteer a certain number of hours before awarding the match or grant. Check your company’s guidelines for eligibility and submission instructions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to donate before requesting a match?

Most employers ask you to make your donation first and then submit a matching gift request. Follow the instructions provided by your employer.

How do I find out if my employer offers this?

Start by searching your company’s employee portal for terms such as “matching gifts,” “charitable giving,” “volunteer grants” or “Dollars for Doers.”

You may also contact your human resources or community engagement team.

Is there a deadline for requesting a matching gift?

Yes. Deadlines vary by employer. Some companies give employees several months to submit a request, while others may allow more time.

Review your employer’s program guidelines as soon as possible after making your donation.

Can my spouse or a retired employee request a match?

Possibly. Some companies extend matching gift benefits to employees’ spouses, retirees or board members. Eligibility depends on the employer’s policies.

What information will I need?

Your employer may ask for your donation receipt and basic information about KVC. The exact requirements will depend on the company’s process.
