Matching Gifts are an 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.

The Matching Gift search linked above is provided by an external party. The Wikimedia Foundation does not have requirements or guidelines for employer matching gifts. All matching gift program guidelines are determined by each company for their individual program. Please talk to your employer about their specific matching gift guidelines.

The Wikimedia Foundation can not initiate participation in any employer's matching gift program. If you do not see your company listed in the Matching Gift search (link above), please contact your Human Resources department to get the Wikimedia Foundation added to your company's list of approved charities.
