MATCHING GIFTS
Many employers offer a matching gift program to eligible employees. If you or your spouse work for a company with a matching gift program, your gift to Bronx Science may be doubled or tripled simply by completing a form from your employer.
Matching Gift FAQ
How does a matching gift program work?
When you make a gift to Bronx Science, your employer makes a gift in your name as well. For example, if you make a gift of $500 to Bronx Science, your employer may contribute a corresponding gift ranging from $500 to $1,000, depending on your company's matching policy.
What are the advantages?
As a donor, you will be credited with the total of your own contribution + your corporate match -- doubling or even tripling your impact on the Bronx Science school community!
In some cases, the additional matching portion of your gift can even make you eligible for membership in our giving societies. For example, a gift of $500 that is matched dollar for dollar will make the donor's total gift $1,000, our 1938 Society giving level. No matter the amount of the contribution, matching gifts are an easy and cost-free way for donors to enhance their support for Bronx Science.
