Employee Matching Programs

If your company has a corporate giving program or foundation, it’s likely that they’ll match donations to 826LA made on behalf of their employees, retired employees, and even employee spouses. Click here to see a list of companies with a reputation for matching donor money.

Even if your company isn’t on the list, they may still match donations. Check with your HR department. If they do, they can provide you with all the necessary forms.

If you have any questions, please email Donations@826LA.org.
