The Power of Matching Gifts
Many companies support their employees by providing matching gifts to charitable organizations. Since the Alyn Scholarship Fund is a 501(c)(3) non-profit corportation, contributions made outside of the tuition tax credit program are eligible to be deducted as a charitable gift. For those companies that match their employees giving, they will be able to take a chariable contribution deduction and their matching gift will not count against the current tax credit cap of $120 million.
Matching gifts are a great way to dramatically increase the value of donations to ASF. We highly encourage taxpayers contributing to ASF to inquire with their company's Human Resources or Community Relations Office to find out if a matching gift program is in place. Companies that do provide matching gifts have individual processes for doing so and ASF will work closely with them to ensure that the matching contribution is received. In addition, ASF allows the taxpayer making the initial contribution to determine which school(s) receive the matching gift.
Imagine doubling or tripling the value of your contribution to the school(s) of your choice.
That's the Power of Matching Gifts!
