Does Your Employer Match Gifts?

Many corporations will match a gift(s) made by employees, up to a certain dollar amount. If you're already giving to Children & Families of Iowa, why not make your gift go even further with an employer matching gift?

Check with your supervisor or Human Resources Department to get information on your employer's matching gift policy. If you qualify for a matching gift, just submit the required paperwork along with your personal gift and we'll take care of the rest.
