Gifts Corporate matching gifts are a vitally important source of revenue for Colby and are critical for the support of Colby students' education by providing unrestricted support, financial aid, academic program support, library support, and campus beautification. Thousands of companies and corporate foundations match gifts to non-profit institutions such as Colby. Eligible donors can compound the value of their contribution, perhaps by as much as two or three times.
Donors are able to enhance their total for gift club membership.
Many donors are eligible to submit matching gift claims from both their own and their spouse's employer for the same gift. Contact the human resources office at your employer, spouse's employer, or even your former employer, if you are retired, to inquire about their matching gift program. You will be asked either to complete and submit a form directly to Colby with your payment or to contact the company's matching gift coordinator by telephone or e-mail to report your gift.
