Many employers sponsor matching gift programs and will match any charitable contributions made by their employees.  Check with your company’s Human Resources Department to determine if they have a matching gift policy.  The impact of your gift to the St. Madeleine Sophie Auction may be doubled or possibly tripled! Some companies match gifts made by retirees and/or spouses. 

Here’s information on matching gifts for the two largest employers in our area:

Boeing:  Boeing Company will match, dollar for dollar, from $25 to $6,000 per year to all full time, part time and retired employees, spouses of employees and board of directors. 

Complete the form and send it with your gift to Auction Committee, St. Madeleine Sophie.  We’ll handle the rest.  The form is available in the SMS Parish office or click on the link below and print:

Microsoft:  If you’ve been a domestic employee at Microsoft for at least six months, you’re eligible for the Microsoft Matching Gifts Program. Interns, co-ops, temporaries, vendors, and contractors are not eligible for this program.

Dollar for dollar, Microsoft will match up to $12,000 per calendar year in contributions you make to United Way or other funding federations, eligible charitable organizations, or educational institutions. Microsoft will match gifts of cash, personal checks, credit cards, securities with a quoted market value, or Microsoft products. Eligible employees must make contributions of personal gifts of $25 or more. The contribution must be actually paid, not pledged, and gifts must have been made within the last 12 months to qualify for a matching gift.
