Double the impact of your donation with a matching gift
Many companies sponsor matching gift programs, where they match employees’ and retirees’ charitable contributions to eligible nonprofit organizations. You might work for such a company! Matching gifts are an easy way to double the impact of your gift. Better yet, they count toward your donor level, which could enhance your donor benefits. Search for your employer here to see if your gift to CTC is eligible for a corporate match. If you don’t see your company, contact your Human Resources Department. If you have any other questions, contact us at
