Matching Gifts

Many companies set aside philanthopic dollars for higher education and allocate those funds through matching gift programs. These programs allow employees, and sometimes retirees and directors, of the company to make a contribution to an institution which is then matched by a corporate gift. Matching levels vary from one company to another, but regardless of the match percentage, these gifts represent a significant source of funds for scholarships and grants for Evangel students.

Although procedures for matching gift programs vary, matching gift forms may usually be obtained through the employer's human resources office. The employee sends the signed form with a check made payable to Evangel Christian Academy. The rest is handled by the school and the employer.
