Did you know many companies match their employees’ donations?

One benefit many employees don’t take advantage of is their company’s giving program. Each company has its criteria and options but includes donation matches, Board service, and volunteer matches up to a certain amount.

Contact your employer’s HR department to see if they offer a matching gift program. Once you have submitted your matching gift request, or if you have any questions about the process, please reply to this email. Last year, supporters and volunteers working for four companies raised $8,344.06 in donations matches, Board service matches, and volunteer matches. These extra funds make a significant difference in our work. Thanks to all those who utilize the employer-giving program! 

Another employer opportunity to support UDS is through its annual United Way Workplace Campaign (if applicable). You can select Uniting Distant Stars as the charity for your donation and make it a one-time gift or deducted from your paychecks throughout the year. Thanks to all the employees who have donated to us through their annual United Way Campaigns!
