Matching Gifts
Maximize your support for the SBAIA through your employer.
Corporate employee matching gift programs are a great way to elevate your donation to the Spina Bifida Association of Iowa. Many employers generously match an employee’s or retiree’s gifts to a non-profit organization. An employer-based matching gift program is typically an agreement to match dollar for dollar. Often, employers match 100% of the original donation. The matching must be made within a certain period of time from the original donation (30 days is standard). Most companies with a matching program have a cap, or limit, to what they will match for each employee annually.
As a donor, you might have a few questions.
- What do I need to do to participate in a matching gift program? How do I designate the Spina Bifida Association of Iowa as a recipient of matching gifts for my donation?
- Setting up for matching funds will only take a few minutes. It can make a major impact on the organization receiving the funds. If your employer will match a gift to the Spina Bifida Association of Iowa, your company’s matching gift form should be submitted with your own cash donation to the SBAIA office.
- How do I find out if my company has a matching gift program?
- Your HR department should be able to quickly answer this question.
- Where do I get the forms?
- If your gift is a one-time donation typically you can pick up the form and mail it to the office of the Spina Bifida Association of Iowa (see address in link below) with your check.
