How do you double your Annual Catholic Appeal gift? Most companies have a Matching Gift Program— that is how. Many companies match the Annual Catholic Appeal. You can double your gift to the ACA in a few easy steps.
Do Companies Really Match Dollar for Dollar?
Yes! Do you know if your employer has a Matching Gift Program? Microsoft Corporation, Starbucks, Home Depot are just a few of the companies that offer matching gift programs and have matched Annual Catholic Appeal gifts in the past. Additional companies can be found on the Matching Gift Programs List provided by the Archdiocese of Seattle.
However, if the company you work for is not on this list—that does not mean they do not participate in a matching gift program— it just means that they have not matched an Annual Catholic Appeal gift— yet. Check with your benefits or human resource department to find out if your employer offers a matching gift program and learn how easy it is to match your donation to the ACA. Once your gift has been paid in full, you can apply for the match per your employer’s instructions. Need to make your gift?
