Matching Gifts

A Great Way to Increase Your Giving is through a Corporate Matching Gift Program. If you or your spouse work for or are a retiree of a matching gift company, you can sometimes double or even triple your gift. Please remember to request a matching gift application from your company's human resources office, fill it out and send it to the UW-River Falls Foundation. You may use the following link to determine if your company has a matching gift policy.
