Corporate Gift Matching: Making Your Gift Go Further

Many companies have programs through which they will "match" the charitable contributions made by their employees. Through corporate gift matching, your employer can multiply your gift to HFS Chicago Scholars, making it go further.

Check with your company's Human Resources office to see if they offer gift matching. (If they don't, you may want to ask your company to start one.) If your employer does offer this program, your Human Resources department should provide you with a matching gift form to send to HFS along with your donation. Complete this form and mail it with your donation to:

HFS Chicago Scholars
ATTN: Desireé Pepper-Venzant
1137 West Taylor Street, #201
Chicago, IL 60607

Our staff will verify receipt of your gift and return the form to your company for matching funds in a timely manner. Conditions and criteria for gift matching vary by employer. Some companies offer a payroll deduction plan. For more information or if you are not sure if HFS Chicago Scholars qualifies for your company's gift matching program, call us at 312-421-4070 or email us at info@hfschicagosholars.com, and we'll be glad to send information about our mission and programs.

We thank you for your kindness and your generous support!
