Employer Matching Gifts
At the Oregon Shakespeare Festival we believe in the power of community support—and that includes matching gifts! Many companies offer matching gift programs to encourage employees to support charitable causes. This means that your donation can go even further with the support of your employer!
How Matching Gifts Work

It’s simple! When you make a donation to OSF, your employer may match your contribution, maximizing the impact of your generosity. In some cases, employers may even match gifts made by spouses or retirees. The process typically involves:

  1. Make a Donation: Donate to OSF online or by check.
  2. Submit Your Request: Check with your employer’s HR or corporate giving department to see if they offer a matching gift program and submit your request.
  3. We’ll Do the Rest: Once your employer confirms, we’ll receive your company’s gift, and the impact of your donation will be enhanced!
Why It Matters

Matching gifts are a powerful way to enhance your contribution and amplify your support of OSF’s mission. Here’s how it helps:

  • Maximizing Your Impact: Every dollar counts, and when your company matches your gift, we can do even more to support our community and programs.
  • Encouraging Corporate Responsibility: By participating in a matching gift program, your company can demonstrate its commitment to social good and community engagement.
  • Strengthening Our Mission: Your donation allows us to further our work, whether it’s producing groundbreaking theater, funding initiatives, or expanding our reach.
How to Find Out if Your Employer Matches Gifts

Many companies participate in matching gift programs. To find out if your employer participates, check the following:

  • HR/Employee Benefits Portal: Many companies have information about matching gifts available in their internal systems.
  • Search Online: You can also search online for your employer’s matching gift program or use tools like Double the Donation to check eligibility.
