Corporate matching gifts are a powerful way to maximize your contribution to The Jacob’s Ladder Group. When you make a donation, many employers will match your gift—sometimes dollar for dollar or even more—effectively doubling or tripling your impact. This simple step of submitting a matching gift request to your employer enables you to provide even more vital educational and therapeutic services to families, children, and young adults navigating life with neurological disorders at no additional cost to you.
Why Matching Gifts Matters:
Doubled Impact: Your contribution goes twice as far when matched by your employer, immediately multiplying the difference you make in the lives of those we serve. Leverage your donation to create twice the change without increasing your personal contribution.
Expanded Resources: Matching gifts allow us to stretch every dollar further, providing additional resources for our programs and services without requiring additional donations.
Corporate Social Responsibility: By utilizing your company’s matching gift program, you help your employer fulfill its commitment to supporting important community causes.
