Confirm donation process: Have a chat with your company’s representative to determine the process for matching gifts. Some programs require you to make an online donation directly to MOCC, while others are set up for you to donate to the company’s matching gift processor. It’s important to clarify this detail to ensure that your gift will be matched. Donate to MOCC online: For those programs where a direct to MOCC gift is necessitated, you can use the MOCC online donation platform. A receipt is automatically generated when you make your contribution. You will likely need this for your employer. If you need anything additional, drop us an email and we’ll be happy to help. Match is made: Once you donate, your employer matches your gift, typically through a processor such as Benevity, Pay Pal Giving Fund, or Blackbaud Giving Fund. MOCC receives up to three times your contribution from your employer via check or anelectronic transfer of funds. Thousands of companies participate, but matching gifts often go unused simply because employees aren’t aware they exist.
