gift matching

Did you know many companies offer a matching gift program to encourage giving among their employees? And some companies also match gifts for spouses, retirees and part-time employees.

When you make a donation to Bear Necessities, your company can double or even triple the value of your generous support in a manner of minutes.

here's how to make a matching gift

  • Ask your human resources department about your company’s matching gift policy.
  • If your company participates, send the completed form to Bear Necessities with your donation.
  • Your company sends the matching gift to Bear Necessities once they receive our verification.
 
Many companies often support nonprofits in other ways so please check.
