Many organizations match all or a portion of an employee's gift to a non-profit organization.
Consider doubling the impact of your gift by asking your employer to match your gift. This is a unique opportunity to honor the memory of a special person or honor a significant event, such as a birthday, anniversary or retirement. Honoring a person is the perfect solution for someone you know who may already have everything they need. Simply send your contribution with the name and address of the person to be honored, and we will send a card informing them of your gift. Your children may no longer need the income from being named as the ultimate beneficiary of your retirement plan.
