How can you double your donation to Friends of Concordia?

 (Matching Gift Programs)

Over 1,000 companies have programs that match gifts to Concordia University. Thanks to the many qualifying contributions, significant support through matching gifts has been received.

If you are employed by a company with a Matching Gift Program, please ask your employer for information about how you can increase the value of your gift.  You'll be given a simple form to fill out.  You will then send that form along with your gift.  The University will complete the form and return it to the company to verify the receipt of your gift.  Then the company will send a gift courtesy of their matching gift program.

Most companies match dollar-for-dollar, but some match two-for-one or three-for-one.  Generally, the matching gift program of a parent company applies to its divisions, subsidiaries, and affiliated companies, too.  Some companies also match gifts of retired employees' spouses.  If your employer is not a matching gift company and you would like to see the possibility considered, write your personnel department.

Policy or Contract Holders of Thrivent Financial for Lutherans now can receive a matching gift through the GivingPlus program.  Contact your agent for information on these programs.

Your donation is tax deductible.
