Corporate Matching Gifts and Volunteer Matching Gifts

One of the best deals for a donor is when their employer agrees to match their donation. It doubles the gift, and makes your charitable dollars go twice as far! Another new way is to participate is through volunteer matching. Many companies now donate money to organizations based on the hours you do service. Please check with your employer.

Contact Director of Development, Tandee Ogburn at tandee@myhandinhand.org or call our office at (502) 459.9930 if you have questions.

We are delighted to showcase the following list of places that match donations by their employees to Hand in Hand. If your workplace matches donations to Hand in Hand and is not on this list, let us know and we’ll add them to the list.
