Arranging a corporate matching gift is a great way for Penn State alumni, parents, and friends to maximize personal contributions to the University and increase the impact of their gift. By taking advantage of a company's matching gift benefit to higher education, an employee may double or even triple his or her own contribution. Basic Procedure To find out if your company has a matching gift program, inquire with your Human Resources or Benefits department.
Most corporate procedures are very simple.
To initiate most gift matches, donors request a matching form from their company, complete and submit it to Penn State along with their personal gift. The University will verify the completed form-the form will be returned to the company, which will then issue a matching gift contribution to Penn State.
