Many of us think of charitable giving as writing a check or making an online donation. But there’s another powerful way to support Grandparents for Vaccines—at no additional cost to you.
Thousands of employers offer matching gift programs, which match charitable donations made by their employees and, in many cases, retirees or spouses. That means a $100 donation could become $200, or even more, simply by completing a short matching gift request.
Check Whether Your Employer Matches Gifts
If you are currently employed—or retired from a company with a matching gift program—it’s worth taking a few minutes to see whether you’re eligible. Many large corporations, financial institutions, healthcare organizations, technology companies, and manufacturers participate in these programs.
You can usually find information by:
- Searching your company’s intranet for “matching gifts” or “employee giving.”
- Contacting your Human Resources or Benefits department.
- Visiting your company’s employee giving portal.
If you’ve already made a donation to Grandparents for Vaccines this year, you may still be able to request a match!
Is Grandparents for Vaccines Listed?
Some employers only match gifts to organizations that are registered in their charitable giving database. If you don’t find Grandparents for Vaccines in your employer’s system, you can help us become eligible.
- Legal Name: Grandparents for Vaccines
- EIN: 41-3034495
- Mailing Address: 18502 Lynton Rd, Shaker Heights, OH, 44122
Many matching gift platforms allow employees to recommend or request that a nonprofit be added. This process is typically simple and may involve submitting basic information about the organization. If your employer asks for additional information, please let us know. We’ll be happy to provide any documentation needed to complete the registration. Please email your request to kim@grandparentsforvaccines.com.
Your Small Effort Can Create Lasting Benefits
Once Grandparents for Vaccines is registered with an employer’s matching gift platform, future donors from that company may also be able to have their gifts matched. In other words, a few minutes of your time today could help increase support for our mission for years to come.
If you’re willing to help register Grandparents for Vaccines with your employer’s matching gift program, please contact us. We can provide the information your employer requires and assist with any questions during the registration process.
Together, we can stretch every donation further and strengthen our efforts to protect children, families, and communities through vaccination advocacy.
Thank you for considering a gift to further our mission!
