Matching Gifts

Increase the impact of your gift through your company’s matching gifts program.

Whether you are currently employed or retired, don’t miss the opportunity to make even more of an impact on the Smithsonian with your generous gift. Does your company match your charitable contributions?

By participating in a corporate matching gifts program, you can expand your individual support and your employer can benefit through unrestricted tax-deductible contributions.

To apply for matching funds, obtain the appropriate forms from your employer, or visit your company’s matching gifts website. The appropriate contact person or information is usually available through your personnel, benefits, or community relations department. Your company may also match gifts made by retirees or spouses. In this way, thousands of Friends of the Smithsonian Members have more than doubled their support.
