Some employers will also donate to the organization when the employee volunteers his or her time to the organization. The employer's donation, conditioned upon the employees' donation or volunteer time, is called an employer matching gift. If you work for an employer that matches employees' donations, you should encourage your co-workers to donate because each dollar of their donation means 2 dollars to poor children in China. Links to the descriptions of some of these matching programs are in the Donate section of our website. Ask the HR department of your employer and see if they match employees' donations to charities.
Different employers have different procedures.
Usually, you get a matching gift request form from your HR department, fill out your information, and send it to us when you make your donation. We fill out our portion of the form and send it to the employer for processing. After the employer determines eligibility, they send their matching gift checks to us. Follow the procedures set by your employer. If your employer requires a paper form, send us the properly completed matching gift request form when you make your donation to us.
