Did you know you could make your donation to support breast cancer patients go twice as far—maybe even three times as far—without spending an extra penny? Sounds too good to be true, right? But it’s absolutely real, thanks to employer-matching gift programs.

What is a Matching Gift?

Here’s how it works: Many companies want to encourage their employees to give back, so they offer to match your donations to eligible nonprofits, like ours. Some match dollar-for-dollar, while others go above and beyond with two-to-one or even three-to-one matches. That means your $50 gift could instantly turn into $100, $150, or more!

Not sure if your workplace offers a matching gift program? No problem! Here’s how to find out:

1. Ask HR

A quick chat or email to your human resources department is a great starting point. Many companies provide all the details on matching gifts as part of their employee benefits. If HR isn’t available, try searching online to check if your employer matches gifts.

2. Review the Rules

Each company has its guidelines—like minimum donation amounts or deadlines for submitting matching requests. It’s worth a quick read to make sure your gift qualifies.

3. Submit Your Request

After donating, follow your employer’s process to submit a matching gift request. It’s usually a simple online form or an email with your receipt attached. Once approved, your employer will send the matching funds directly to the nonprofit – and just like that, your impact is doubled!

Why Matching Gifts Matter

Every donation to our organization makes an incredible impact. For example, your $100 gift could provide a week’s worth of healthy meals for someone undergoing breast cancer treatment or cover a counseling session for a survivor or caregiver. Now imagine doubling that support. Pretty amazing, right?

Matching gifts don’t just boost the dollars—they also send a powerful message of love and solidarity to the individuals and families we serve. It’s like a ripple effect of kindness, and you can help make it happen.

Make the Most of Your Generosity

Employer matching programs are an easy way to maximize the impact of your support. A few minutes of effort can double or even triple the difference you’re making in the lives of those facing breast cancer.
