Hundreds of corporations will match gifts made by their employees and associates. Please check with your human resource office to determine if your employer sponsors such a program. If a matching gift program exists, it is generally the donor's responsibility to obtain the form or instructions from the human resource office to file for matching gift funds. If you wish, the endowment may be funded over a number of years. The University distributes the income from endowment funds according to the donor's wishes.
