Corporate Matching: Does Your Company Match?
Before you make a donation, please take the time to see if your employer has a program for matching your gifts. Many, many employers do, but it takes the initiative of the employee to get the information from the company and to submit the matching request. The following list of local businesses and organizations generously support the community and offer corporate matching. This is in no way a comprehensive list but is merely a starting point. If your company matches and is not on this list, please let us know. A corporate match is a quick and easy way to double your contribution to Nova. Thank you for checking with your employer. A few minutes of investigation can go a long way in helping the school double its donations.
