Matching Gifts

Corporate matching gifts are a great way for Union College alumni, parents, and friends to maximize personal contributions to the College and increase the impact of their gift oftentimes qualifying you for a higher-level giving club. By taking advantage of a company's matching gift benefit, you may be able to double or even triple the amount of a contribution.

Each company has its own guidelines for matching the gifts of employees, spouses, retirees, and widows/widowers. Most corporate procedures are very simple:

1. Request a Matching Gift Form from your company (usually with Human Resources).
2. Complete and submit the form to Union College along with your gift (or shortly after).
3. Union College will verify the completed form and return it to the company.
4. The company issues a matching gift contribution to Union College.
