In a matching gift program, the employer matches their employees’ or retirees’ charitable contributions either partially or for the full amount.

You can make your gift go even further in making a difference in the lives of Midland students and adults by participating in your company’s matching gift program.

Here’s how to get started

1.

Contact your Human Resources or Payroll Department to find out if they will match your contributions to support a nonprofit, special education school or program.

2.

Review your company’s policies for their matching gift program.

3.

Complete any necessary forms and send them to:

The Midland Foundation
P.O. Box 5026
94 Readington Road
North Branch, NJ 08876

The Midland Foundation will then process your form and return it to your employer. It’s that easy!
