Many employers offer matching gift programs. This is a way for employers to put the power in the hands of their employees; showing that what matters to them, matters to the company too. This can bring companies and employees closer as they support a mission together. Employers encourage their staff to donate to their charity of choice and the company matches that gift – doubling their employees’ donations and impact!
