Your Employer May Match Your
Donations to Mercy-USA
Your employer may increase your gift through its corporate matching
program. Many companies in the US and Canada will match the donations
of their employees, retirees, and employees’ spouses. Mercy-USA for Aid
and Development has received matching gifts from companies like American
Express, Cisco Systems, Citicorp, Ericson, Microsoft, Pfizer, Sun
Microsystems, etc.
Corporate matching gifts are a very easy way to stretch the benefits of your
contribution. Please ask your employer today, if they have such a matching
gift program.
Also, if your company has a “United Way” campaign that allows you to
direct your contribution to charities other than United Way, please take
advantage of the opportunity to do so. If your company restricts giving to
a list of “approved” charities, please ask your human resources department
how you can add Mercy-USA to that list.
We have found that merely having an employee ask to include his or her
special charity to the list is usually all it takes. For more information on this
and other alternative ways to give, please call us at 1-800-55-MERCY.
