Employer Match
EMPLOYER MATCHING GIFTS
Matching gifts are when companies match donations that their employees make to a charity.
When an employee makes a donation, they'll request the matching gift from their employer, who then makes their own donation. Companies usually match donations at a 1:1 ratio, but many match at a 2:1 or more.
Volunteer Group
Bring your team to the Clubhouse for a project! Help with an indoor or outdoor project and improve the experience for our community youth.
