Many companies offer a matching-gift benefit to their employees to inspire charitable giving in support of education. Sometimes the gifts of retirees, members of the board of directors, and spouses are also eligible.

 

Steps to follow:

​

1. Request a matching gift application from your benefits manager or Human Resources office. Matching policies vary and certain restrictions apply, so please read your company’s matching gift program rules.

2. Complete the matching gift application process. Some companies now have web-based or automated phone application processes. Paper applications may be returned, along with your gift, to:

​

The Zigen Fund
136-61 41st Ave #355 
Flushing, NY 11355

 

Zigen Fund will verify receipt of your gift and complete the process. Your employer will send an additional gift to Zigen on your behalf! If you are not sure that your company has a matching gift program, please check with your benefits manager. Also, some companies without formal programs will match your gift, if you ask.
