• 6 Are there matching gift submission deadlines?

  Different companies have different deadlines. Awareness of these dates ensures that you don’t miss out on the chance to double your contribution.

  Contact your employer's HR or community giving department. Much of the necessary information is also available on your company intranet.

  You may also search our database above for company specific information. Thousands of companies are in Double The Donation's database.

  Standard match request submission deadlines include:
  - End of the calendar year.
  - A set number of months after the date of the donation, most often 3-12 months.
  - End of January, February, or March in the year subsequent to when the donation was made.

• 7 What if I forget to submit my matching gift request?

  If you forget to submit your matching gift after selecting your company at the time of donation, you will receive a series of auto-generated emails prompting you to submit your match. The majority of companies offer an all-electronic matching gift submission process.

• 8 Are matching gifts tax-deductible?

  While your donation to a 501(c)3 organization is tax-deductible, your matching gift is not tax-deductible. Only your personal contributions are eligible for tax-deduction. Each party involved (yourself and your employer) can only take deductions for contributions they directly made to the nonprofit.

• 9 What if I still have questions?

  For questions regarding your company's programs, please contact your employer's HR or community giving department. Much of the necessary information is also available on your company intranet.
