Double Your Impact with a Matching Gift to Oxfam America!
Did you know that one of the easiest ways to maximize your donation to Oxfam America is through your employer’s matching gift program? Thousands of companies, including corporations, foundations, not-for-profit organizations, and associations, match their employees’ charitable contributions—sometimes for as much as double the amount of the initial gift.
Why Your Gift Matters Now More Than Ever
Many companies are increasing their match ratios and gift limits, unlocking more dollars for your nonprofit of choice. This means your contribution can go twice as far in supporting Oxfam’s critical work.
How to Get Started
Participating in your employer’s matching gift program is simple and can significantly amplify your impact. Companies have various methods for matching gift request submissions: online forms, automated phone systems, or a paper form that you submit to Oxfam America. Many companies will match personal gifts, such as cash, stocks, marketable securities, and the value of your volunteer time. They may also match gifts from employee spouses, retirees, and board members.
