Did someone say free money? 💰

Yes — if your employer offers a charitable donation match, that’s exactly what it is.

When you give to the Grange Foundation, your company may match your donation dollar-for-dollar — at no extra cost to you.

That means:
👉 $100 becomes $200
👉 $500 becomes $1,000
👉 Your impact doubles instantly

And here’s the surprising part — billions of dollars in matching gift funds go unclaimed every year simply because employees don’t submit the form.

It only takes a few minutes to check with your HR department or search your company’s employee giving portal.

Don’t leave money on the table.
If your employer offers matching gifts, take advantage of it and double your support for the Grange Foundation’s mission.

Now that’s a win-win.

Donations can be made online or mailed to the following address:

Does your employer offer a charitable donation match?

If so, your gift to the Grange Foundation could go twice as far — at no additional cost to you.

Many employees don’t realize their company will match their nonprofit donations dollar-for-dollar. Here’s why it matters:

📊 The Impact of Company Matching Programs

• Over 26 million Americans work for companies that match charitable donations
• 65% of Fortune 500 companies offer matching programs
• Up to 90% of companies with $2B+ in revenue provide a match
• 91% match at a 1:1 ratio — that’s $1 for every $1 you give
• 80% cap annual matches between $500–$10,000 per employee
• An estimated $4–$7 billion in matching funds goes unclaimed every year

That means a $250 donation could become $500. A $1,000 gift could become $2,000 — simply by submitting a short form through your employer.

Companies in technology, financial services, healthcare, retail, and many other industries commonly offer these programs.

✅ Check with your HR department
✅ Search your company’s employee giving portal
✅ Ask if the Grange Foundation qualifies (it does — as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit)

Don’t leave matching funds on the table.

Double your impact. Strengthen rural communities. Support the mission.
