Matching Gifts are an easy way to double or even triple your donation to the Wikimedia Foundation. Many companies support employee philanthropy by offering matching gift programs. By taking advantage of your corporate matching gift program, you can maximize the value of your gift at no additional cost.
Thank you for supporting the Wikimedia Foundation!
== Will your employer match your gift? ==
'''[[Matching Gifts/form|Click here to see if your employer will match your gift]]'''
''The Matching Gift search linked above is provided by an external party. The Wikimedia Foundation does not have requirements or guidelines for employer matching gifts. All matching gift program guidelines are determined by each company for their individual program. Please talk to your employer about their specific matching gift guidelines.''
'''The Wikimedia Foundation can not initiate participation in any employer's matching gift program. If you do not see your company listed in the Matching Gift search (link above), please contact your Human Resources department to get the Wikimedia Foundation added to your company's list of approved charities.'''
==Volunteer Hour Match==
Many companies will match an employee's time spent volunteering with a financial gift to the nonprofit. [[wmf:Volunteer Hour Match|Learn more about the Volunteer Hour Match program]].
If you have questions regarding the Volunteer Hour Match program, please email <tt>[mailto:matching@wikimedia.org matching{{@}}wikimedia.org]</tt>
==Combined Federal Campaign==
Many federal and state employees choose to give to the Wikimedia Foundation via the Combined Federal Campaign (CFC), a workplace giving program. If you would like to give the Wikimedia Foundation as part of the Educate America! CFC, please reach out to your human resources department for instructions to give.
'''Our CFC number is 61478.'''
