Matching Gift Programs
What’s better than a generous gift to Northeast
Health Foundation? A gift that is twice as generous
thanks to a third party’s matching gift program!
Many companies offer employees - and even
retirees and/or spouses - a matching gift benefit
that, in effect, doubles (or in some cases even
triples) your gift. These gifts make a critical
contribution to Northeast Health and our
affiliate programs.
So when making a gift, please consider
earmarking Northeast Health Foundation for a
corporate match. We hope that you will contact
your human resources department to join your
company’s program today.
Listed at right are companies that we know
currently offer a matching gift program.
