Frequently Asked Questions
How does the matching gift program work?
When you make a gift to any Elon designation, your employer makes a gift in your name as well. For example, if you make a gift of $250, your employer may contribute a corresponding gift ranging from $250 to $500, depending on your company’s matching policy.
What are the advantages?
As a donor, you will be credited with the total contribution, including the corporate match. Matching gifts are a great way to increase your impact on the campus designations closest to your heart.
