Match your gift
Many companies encourage their employees, past and present, to support higher education. Through matching gift programs, companies will match employee gifts to an eligible educational institution, in some cases doubling or tripling the original contributions.
Check with your human resources department, or use the search box below, to determine matching gift guidelines for your company.
In most cases companies require a form to be filled out by the employee to accompany their gift. Upon receipt of your donation, ÃÛÌÒÊÓƵ Allison will complete the form and return it to your company. If the donation qualifies, a matching gift is mailed to ÃÛÌÒÊÓƵ Allison and the match is applied to the same area as designated by your original donation.
If you have any questions regarding matching gifts, please contact the Development Office at donate@mta.ca or (506) 364-2343.
