Matching Gifts

Many employers offer matching gift programs. Does yours? Last year, companies nationwide matched their employees’ gifts to Principia, resulting in nearly $54,000 in company contributions. Many employers also match gifts made by their retirees and/or spouses of employees. It’s easy to find out if your company will match your gift to Principia.

Every company has its own matching guidelines for employees, spouses, and retirees. Try one of these simple ways to determine if your employer will match your gift to Principia:

  • Check your company’s intranet or website for Matching Gifts
  • Ask your Human Resources Department
  • Call Principia at 800.218.7746, ext. 3307, or email gifts@principia.edu
  • Use the Matching Gift Company Search below

If your company matches, you may be able to access the forms directly through the search. Follow the set procedure, and The Principia will be happy to assist. The impact of your gift may be doubled or possibly tripled! Some companies even match gifts made by retirees and/or spouses. Please note that, due to individual employer restrictions, Principia may not be eligible to receive matching donations.
