Did you know that many companies offer corporate matching programs to amplify the impact of your charitable donations? This means your contributions to causes like HTX Basket Brigade can go twice as far – or even more – just by getting your employer involved. With a quick conversation or a simple form, your donation can be matched dollar-for-dollar, making it easier than ever to make a lasting difference.
Here’s how you can get started!
Many businesses offer corporate matching as part of their commitment to community support, so don’t hesitate to ask! Start by reaching out to HR or checking your company’s employee benefits portal. Some organizations have online systems where you can submit your donation for matching with just a few clicks.
Once you know your company offers matching, the next step is simple: make your donation to HTX Basket Brigade! First, check if Second Servings (our 501(c)(3) partner) is on your company’s approved list. Then, follow your company’s submission process, which might involve filling out a form or providing proof of donation.
Once you’ve donated, let us know what you’ve done so we can help streamline the process with Second Servings and ensure everything goes smoothly for matching.
Your company matching might not be limited to just one person! By letting your colleagues know about the program, they too can contribute and potentially have their donations matched. This is a fantastic way to build a stronger, more united workplace that rallies together to help those in need.
If your company doesn’t yet offer a matching program, consider suggesting it. Many businesses are open to ideas for supporting employees’ favorite causes and may offer one-time matching or even create an official program for future campaigns. You could help open the door for more impactful giving in the future.
You can also have your company commit to corporate sponsorship they can visit htxbasketbrigade.com/donate and use the Second Servings link giving them the necessary 501c3 documentation they would want.
Corporate matching is one of the easiest ways to expand the reach of your contribution. For every dollar you give, another dollar (or more) is added – doubling the resources to fund essential services and initiatives like the HTX Basket Brigade’s goal to feed 500+ families in need.
Don’t let the chance to double your impact slip by! By taking a few moments to ask about corporate matching, you’re helping ensure your generosity makes an even bigger difference in our community.
