matching gift

Employer doubles contribution

A matching gift is a charitable donation made by an employer to match an employee's contribution to a nonprofit organization.

Many companies offer matching gift programs as a benefit, effectively doubling the impact of individual donations: Check if your company has a matching gift program before you donate.

The term also applies to pledges from major donors who agree to match funds raised during a campaign, incentivizing others to give.
