Matching Gifts FAQ

What is a Matching Gift?

Companies set aside millions of dollars every year to support and inspire employee charitable giving. If you are an eligible employee, your gifts to UCR may be doubled or tripled by a matching gift from your employer.

Who Is an Eligible Employee?

Eligibility rules vary from company to company and certain restrictions apply. Sometimes the gifts of spouses, part-time employees, retirees, and members of the board of directors are eligible for matching. Some companies may have a length of service requirement.

How Do I Get a Matching Gift?

  1. Contact your Human Resources office or benefits manager and ask for a matching-gift application.
  2. Read the program rules and follow the instructions on the matching-gift application. If you are required to send the signed application to UCR, please send it to:
    Gift Administration
    University of California
    120-A Highlander Hall
    Riverside, CA 92521
  3. After your gift is verified by UCR, your employer will send an additional gift on your behalf!

Why Should I Take the time to Match My Gift?

  • You can double your gift to UCR without spending another dime!
  • You get credit for the company matching gift in UCR honor roll and gift-club publications!
