An example of a matching gift in action would be a donor, who works for Intuit, who donates $100 to Fairwood Explorer Alliance. The donor then submits the proper matching gift forms to his employer's HR department or through an exclusive employee portal. Intuit receives the request and matches the donation 1:1 by writing a check for $100 to Fairwood Explorer Alliance.

Ask your HR department if your company provides matching funds for charitable donations today!
