Spread the Love with a Matching Gift this Month
February is National Matching Gift Month. While minds may turn to romance, February is also an opportune time to celebrate those matches that came into our lives at just the right moment, be it friends and neighbors or a place that speaks to you on a deeper level.
At Clarke University, we are grateful for the support alumni and friends give our students each year. A matching gift is a simple and meaningful way for you to double the impact of your generosity and the mission you believe in.
Many employers recognize the dedication of their employees and offer matching gift programs to enhance the contributions to organizations they hold dear. Some companies will match dollar for dollar. When you submit a matching gift, your support for Clarke has double the impact on our future nurses, leaders, activists, educators, and so much more.
Here is how you can make the most of your gift through an employer matching gift program.
- Check your eligibility. Contact your Human Resources office or visit your company’s benefits page. Ask if they offer a matching gift program and review the guidelines.
- Make your gift to Clarke University. Give in the way that works best for you.
- Submit your matching request to your employer. Most companies use a short online form that usually takes less than five minutes.
- Let us know. Once your request is approved, our team will work with your employer to complete the match.
Your matched gift helps fund scholarships, academic programs, and campus improvements that support student success every day. One gift can make twice the difference.
This month, take one extra step to strengthen your impact. Check with your employer about a matching gift program. Your gift to Clarke University, multiplied, helps ensure Clarke students continue to learn, grow, and succeed.
