Absolutely! Matching gifts provide you with an easy way to potentially double, if not triple, your original donation! Here are the instructions you need to initiate your employer's matching gift:
1. Check Eligibility: Verify if your employer has a matching gift program. You can do this by:
Visiting your company's intranet or HR portal.
Contacting your HR department directly.
Checking with your supervisor or payroll department.
2. Obtain Matching Gift Form: If your employer does offer a matching gift program, request a matching gift form from your HR department. This form is usually available online or can be obtained in hard copy.
Complete the Form: Carefully fill out the matching gift form, providing all necessary information. This typically includes details such as:
The name and address of the nonprofit organization (in this case, Jewish Family Services of Silicon Valley).The date and amount of your donation.
Any additional required information about the organization (our Tax ID # is 94-2536452).
3. Submit the Form: Return the completed form to your HR department. This may involve:
Sending the form via email.
Uploading it through an online portal.Submitting a hard copy to the HR office.
4. Verification Process: Your employer will verify the details provided on the form, and once approved, they will initiate the matching gift process.
5. Notification: You will likely receive confirmation from your employer once the matching gift has been processed. This may come in the form of an email, letter, or a notification through the company's internal communication system.
