Employer Matching Funds Important to Nonprofits

By JEANNE SCHILLING

Do you know if the company you work for matches the charitable giving of its employees? It is a question you should ask. At least $10 billion in workplace matching funds go unclaimed each  ear; often because employees do not even know about the opportunity for their employer to match their charitable gift. Perla Ni, CEO of GreatNonprofits.org states that, “Matching donation programs are a big part of corporations’ social responsibility initiatives, but awareness of them is shockingly low. As a result billions of dollars that can go to deserving nonprofits, towards vital social programs, are never distributed.”
