Matching Gifts Q&A
What is a matching gift?
Employee matching gift programs are corporate giving programs. Employer matching gift programs are a great way for employees to double or, in some cases, triple their contribution in support of Lincoln Park. Employer matching gifts can be for monetary donations, volunteer hours, or part of other employer donation programs such as sponsorships or quarterly donation programs.
How do I request a matching gift?
After you have donated to the Lincoln Park Conservancy, use the search bar to find your company’s matching gifts form. If we don’t have a current matching gift program on file for your company, please contact your HR representative.
If you or your employer have a question, please contact us:

I am the donor, but my spouse’s employer offers a matching gift program, may I submit the matching gift request through their employer even though I made the donation?
Yes! If your spouse’s employer also offers a matching gift program, you might be able to apply for an additional match to your gift.
How do I match my volunteer hours?
Many employers offer matching gifts, corporate volunteer matching, and payroll giving. Find your company using the above search bar and scroll past Matching Gifts for other giving options. If you do not see volunteer matching please contact your company’s HR Representative.
