If your school, civic organization, or church group would like to become involved, then please contact Michelle Scroggins at 501-370-0808, ext. 101 or email her at mscroggins@urmission.org.

Multiply Your Gift to URM

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!
