Workplace Giving and Matching Gifts
Many companies match their employees' charitable contributions, effectively doubling or even tripling the value of your gift. You can take advantage of these workplace giving programs by searching for your employer using the below form, or by searching via the prompt when processing your individual donation.
What are employee matching gifts programs?
These programs allow companies to match employee donations to eligible nonprofits, like Peace Learning Center. It's an easy way to double your impact.
What are volunteer grant programs?
Companies may also offer donations when employees volunteer regularly with us. It's another way to provide additional financial support for your time! Visit our volunteer page to see how your employer can support your volunteer efforts.
How do I request a matching gift via your online donation form?
Yes! Simply enter your employer's name in the relevant field on our online donation form. Depending on your employer's internal process, you may be directly linked to your employer's matching page or app via our website or you will receive an email from us with step-by-step instructions for completing your match.
