Matching Gifts

Your donations can go even further with a matching gift! Many companies offer matching gift programs in which the company will match an employee’s contribution to a charitable organization. If you are not sure if you qualify for a matching gift, please use the company search tool below. The tool will provide you with information regarding minimum and maximum match criteria, as well as steps on how to get started.

Some companies without a formal program may still match your gift, if you ask your personnel or human resources department.

Most importantly, don’t forget to keep the FUN in FUNdraising! There is nothing like the satisfaction of knowing you are making a difference in someone’s life whether you have a personal connection or you are participating for all those affected by lung disease.
