MAKE A GIFT
CORPORATE MATCH
Your gift can possibly be matched by your employer – doubling or even tripling the amount of your original gift – and increasing your benefits. It’s easy. Just contact your personnel office and ask them if your company matches gifts to nonprofit organizations.
We will be happy to provide any organizational information that your company requires. Please contact Holly Robison for assistance.
Make a secure, online donation or download our donation form and mail your gift.
