If you work for a company with a Matching Gifts program, it is possible to dramatically increase the impact of your gift. In some cases, a spouse’s company will also match a gift. The ratio of the match varies from company to company, ranging from 1:1 to 3:1.

Both your gift and the matching gift will count toward your overall giving level for donor recognition.

Forms are usually available from your human resources or personnel department. Complete your portion of the form and send it to AUP’s Advancement Office, either with your gift or after the gift has been sent. AUP will complete its portion of the form—verifying the receipt of your gift—and send it back to the company, which will then send AUP a check.
