Matching Gifts programs are an effective way to maximize your giving to Trinity. Many companies will match your gift to Trinity dollar for dollar, and some companies will triple your gift. Check with your company’s Human Resources department to find out if your employer matches charitable gifts. If so, obtain a matching gift form and send it to Trinity with your gift. Trinity will file for the match and let you know when it is received. (Retirees are also often eligible to have their donation matched, so check with your former employer.) Matching gift programs make it easy to turn your $250 gift into $500, $750 or even $1,000!
