Matching Gift FAQs
1. My employer participates in a matching-gift program, but requires verification of my non-profit contribution. What kind of receipt will SALDEF provide for my gift and what form do I use to request my employer’s match?
- SALDEF sends a letter with donation information within XX hours of receipt of donation. You can send a copy of this to your Human Resources department and request their matching gift form.
2. If your employer requires verification of your gift from us on a form, please email the form to jaspreet@saldef.org. Many companies match gifts through online gift verification services like Benevity, YourCause, etc. for which no additional form will be needed.
3. Companies will match only the amount paid to SALDEF.
4. Sustaining donors should submit one request annually after they have made their final payment in the current calendar year. Further, companies will also only match the tax-deductible amount of your contribution. SALDEF will verify the tax-deductible portion of your contribution.
