Employee matching gift programs are corporate giving programs in which the company matches donations made by employees to eligible nonprofit organizations. It's an easy way to double your contribution to us!

Donate to We Defy Foundation here.

Log into your company's matching gift submission website (if you use the Double the Donation search tool, you will receive a follow-up email linking to this page). Once logged in, search for the nonprofit that you donated to. Select the appropriate nonprofit from the search results. If it is not found, manually enter the organization's details. Register the donation. Submit the completed matching gift request to your employer. For a more detailed walkthrough, you can view Double the Donation's example of the submission process using The Home Depot here.

Note: Once complete, We Defy Foundation and your employer will communicate to verify your initial donation, and complete the match, if eligible.

If you forget to submit your matching gift after selecting your company at the time of donation, you will receive a series of auto-generated emails prompting you to submit your match. The majority of companies offer an all-electronic matching gift submission process.

While your donation to a 501(c)3 organization is tax-deductible, your matching gift is not tax-deductible. Only your contributions are eligible for tax deduction. Each party involved (yourself and your employer) can only take deductions for contributions they directly made to We Defy Foundation.

For questions regarding your company's programs, please contact your employer's HR or community giving department. Much of the necessary information is also available on your company intranet. For questions regarding submitting a matching gift to us, please contact us at info@wedefyfoundation.org.
