Let Your Company Double or Triple Your Impact!
Many employers sponsor matching gift programs to match charitable contributions made by their employees. Gifts from employees’ spouses and retirees may also qualify for a match. Search to find out if your employer has a matching gift program.
If you volunteer with us, your company may also offer a volunteer grant program.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a matching gift?
Here’s an example. Let’s say you work for General Electric and donate $100 to Hunger Network. General Electric’s matching gift policy has a minimum gift requirement of $25 and matches at a 1:1 ratio. After you submit your matching gift form, GE will double your donation by also writing a check for $100. Gifts from employees’ spouses and retirees may also qualify for a match.
It’s a quick and easy way to double your contribution!
How do I request a matching gift?
Requesting a matching gift is normally a five-minute process which must be initiated by the donor. You can do this by filling out and submitting a paper form provided by your employer or through an electronic submission process.
There are typically 3 steps:
1. Donate:
Make your personal donation and save your tax receipt. Many matching programs will allow for up to one year after you’ve made your donation to request a corporate match.
2. Search:
Using the search bar, find out if your company offers a matching gift program and review the guidelines. No results? Contact your HR department directly to ask if they offer a matching gift program.
3. Match:
There are two common ways to submit the matching gift request:
A) Click on your company’s intranet link provided in the search results. Log-in and submit your request electronically.
B) Download your company’s matching gift verification form using the link provided in the search results. Print it, fill it out and send it to us.
We will take care of the rest!
I made a donation a few months ago. Can I still apply for a matching gift?
What are volunteer grant programs?
For example: If you volunteered your time as a Walk Team Captain to help raise awareness about hunger in your community and fundraised for Hunger Network’s Walk for Hunger, your employer may donate cash for your volunteer time.
Each company has specific guidelines for their volunteer grant programs — search here (THIS LINK GOES BACK TO THE MATCH PAGE WE ARE CREATING) to see if your company offers this benefit and find everything you need to submit your volunteer time. You can always contact your company’s HR department for more information.
If you volunteer with us, it’s an easy way to provide us with additional financial support!
