You can do this by filling out and submitting a paper match form provided by your employer or through an electronic submission process. Please search our database for company-specific information.
Donate to Good In the ‘Hood.
Log into your company's matching gift submission website (if you use the Double the Donation search tool, you will receive a follow-up email linking to this page).
Once logged in, search for Good in the ‘Hood.
Select the appropriate nonprofit from the search results. If it is not found, manually enter our details.
Register the donation.
Submit the completed matching gift request to your employer.
If you submit your matching gift or volunteer grant outside of our online donation form or dedicated matching gifts page, contact us directly to notify us of the request, so we may track the matching funds as needed.
If you forget to submit your matching gift after selecting your company at the time of donation, you will receive a series of auto-generated emails prompting you to submit your match. The majority of companies offer an all-electronic matching gift submission process.
While your donation to a 501(c)3 organization is tax-deductible, your matching gift is not tax-deductible. Only your contributions are eligible for tax deduction. Each party involved (yourself and your employer) can only take deductions for contributions they directly made to us.
For questions regarding your company's programs, please contact your employer's HR or community giving department. Much of the necessary information is also available on your company intranet. For questions regarding submitting a matching gift or volunteer grant request to us, please contact us using the information provided on this page.
