Each year, approximately $4.8 billion is donated to America’s charities through “Workplace Giving” campaigns. Workplace giving can come in many forms, including:
Matching Gifts
Did you know that as many as one in ten gifts that we receive is eligible to be matched by the donor’s employer? Many companies offer matching gift programs for employees who have made a contribution to a 501(c)3 tax-exempt nonprofit organization, and some even match donations made by spouses or retirees. Matching gifts are a great opportunity to double or triple the amount of your original gift, extending the impact of your donation to the IOCDF.
To get started, search for your company below to see if your donation is matching eligible:
United Way Campaigns
The United Way of America is a non-profit organization that works with more than 1,200 local United Way offices throughout the country in a coalition of charitable organizations to pool efforts in fundraising and support. The focus of United Way is identifying and resolving pressing community issues, as well as making measurable changes in the communities through partnerships with schools, government agencies, businesses, organized labor, financial institutions, community development corporations, voluntary and neighborhood associations, the faith community, and others.
Many companies and local businesses around the country hold annual United Way campaigns. Did you know that you may designate a charity to receive your United Way gift, even if they are not located in your local community? Speak with your Human Resource representative or contact your local United Way to find out how you can help the IOCDF through your paycheck donation. The International OCD Foundation's United Way code is 10554.
