Matching Gifts: FAQ

Thank you for your interest in matching gifts. Not only is it an easy and effective way to double the amount of your donation, but it also maximizes the impact your gift can have for those you seek to help.

When considering a donation to Mercy Corps, please check with your employer to see if they offer a matching gift program. Click here for our Web site that will help you find out if your company has a matching gift policy.

Again, we thank you for your interest in our matching gift program. By doubling your donation with an employer contribution, you can help strengthen Mercy Corps' lifesaving humanitarian efforts and our programs around the world.
