Employer Matching Gifts

What Are Employer Matching Gifts?

Many employers offer matching gift programs where they match charitable donations made by their employees. Matching gifts are a simple way to increase the impact of your support without any additional cost to you.

Why Matching Gifts Matter

Employer matching gifts helps Malvern Library extend our reach of community support. These additional contributions can help fund programs, collections, technology, and services that benefit readers of all ages. Because matching contributions multiply individual donations, they provide an excellent way for donors to help strengthen library resources and expand access for the community.

How Matching Gifts Work

While each employer’s process may vary, the general steps are:

Make a donation to the library.
Check with your employer to see if they offer a matching gift program.
Submit a matching gift request through your employer’s giving portal or HR department.

Some employers provide online forms, while others may request documentation from the organization. Check with your organization to find out how to submit a request.
