Matching Gifts

If you work for an employer with a matching gift program, you may be able to double or even triple the value of your gift to the Annual Catholic Appeal! Some companies will also match gifts made by retirees. To find out if your employer has a matching gift program, contact your company’s Human Resources office.

Steps to Obtain a Matching Gift from Your Company

Companies typically have guidelines that must be met before your gift can be matched. Please check with your employer to determine if your company will match gifts to the organizations supported by the Annual Catholic Appeal.

The following organizations may be eligible for matching gifts:

  • Kenrick-Glennon Seminary, also known as the St. Louis Roman Catholic Theological Seminary.
