frequently asked questions
Employee matching gift programs are corporate giving programs.
Here’s an example: Let’s say you work for General Electric and donate $100 to CAIR-NJ. 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.
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.
