Corporate Matching Gift and Grant Programs

Increase the impact of your gift to FOBNL with an employer match! As a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, we are eligible for many Employer Matching Gift programs.

WHAT ARE MATCHING GIFT PROGRAMS?
Employee matching gifts are donations a company makes to match its employees' nonprofit donations. Companies typically match employee donations dollar-for-dollar, but some companies triple or quadruple the gift amount. Most corporations use an online process, or you email in a form.

HOW IS MATCHING GIFTS BENEFICIAL?
You can increase your giving without increasing what you are giving out of your pocket. For example, if your employer matches 100% of your gift of $1,500, FOBNL will receive a total of $3,000.

MY EMPLOYER DOES MATCH GIFTS! HOW CAN I ENROLL?
You can request an employer match after making your donation in three easy steps.
1. Contact your HR department to determine instructions for submitting a matching gift.
2. Determine the amount you are eligible to have matched.
3. Designate your matched funds to FOBNL. We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, and our non-profit registration number, or EIN, is IN 83-1936696.

WHAT ARE GRANT PROGRAMS?
Volunteer grants are corporate giving programs in which a company provides a monetary donation to non-profits when a group of employees volunteer together or individually.
