Matching Gifts

In other languages	English Deutsch español français 日本語 Nederlands português português do Brasil

Matching Gifts are a great, easy way to double or even triple your donation to the Wikimedia Foundation. Many companies support employee philanthropy by offering matching gift programs. By taking advantage of your corporate matching gift program, you can maximize the value of your gift at no additional cost. Please check with your HR department to see if your employer will match your gift to the Wikimedia Foundation.

Matching Gift search is provided by an external party. The Wikimedia Foundation does not have requirements or guidelines for employer matching gifts nor participation in the matching gift program. All matching gift program guidelines are determined by each company for their individual program. If your company does not have a matching gift program in place, you can discuss starting one with your Human Resources Department.

Many companies will match an employee's time spent volunteering with a financial gift to the nonprofit. Learn more about the Volunteer Hour Match program.
