Workplace and Matching Gifts
Your gift can go even farther.
Increase your contribution to Union Avenue Opera with your company’s matching gift program. To find out if your company participates and the amount they will match, please contact your company’s human resources department. Workplace giving and matching gifts can sometimes double or even triple your gift. Some companies even match gifts made by retirees and/or spouses.
How do I apply for a Matching Gift?
- Contact your human resource office to obtain a matching gift form.
- Complete the “employee” portion of the form and mail it to Union Avenue Opera along with your donation.
- UAO will complete the form and forward it to your employer’s matching gifts office for processing and the company will sent its matching gift directly to UAO.
Some companies disburse matching gifts on a quarterly or annual schedule; because of this, individuals who apply for matching funds will not be notified when matching contributions are received. However, you will be given credit for the donation at the time of original gift.
For questions regarding your company’s match policy please contact your human resources department.
