Multiply your gift to Union Rescue Mission! Ask your Human Resources Department if they participate in Matching Gift Programs. One of the greatest ways to increase your giving is through a Matching Gift program, where a company, foundation or individual will match donations which you make to Union Rescue Mission. These matches are often dollar for dollar, which doubles your charitable-donation power.
How to participate:
- Ask your employer if they participate in a Matching Gift program.
- Obtain a matching gift form and donation guidelines from your employer’s human resources or payroll department.
- Complete the donor section of the form and submit it along with your personal donation to: Union Rescue Mission, P.O. Box 164057, Little Rock, AR 72216, EIN# 71-034893
- URM will complete the forms and return the necessary documents back to your human resources department.
- If approved, the company’s matching gift check is sent to Union Rescue Mission to match your already generous gift.
Tips:
- Many companies will match personal gifts such as cash, stocks, marketable securities and even the value of your volunteer time.
- Companies may also match gifts from employee spouses or retirees (but not gifts from others.)
- Some companies offer double or triple matches.
- Many companies do not have a Matching Gift program but will still match your donation. Don’t be afraid to ask your employer for the matching gift.
- Talk to your co-workers, friends and sponsors about how they can increase their giving with an employee matching gift. Invite them to visit our website!
