Corporate Matching Gifts

Increase your contribution to First Nations Development Institute by asking your employer about corporate matching gifts to charitable organizations. It’s an easy way to double or even triple the impact of your personal contribution.

How to Make a Matching Gift Through Your Employer

  1. Consult your human resources department to find out whether your company has a matching gift program.
  2. If it does, your employer can provide you with a form to fill out and send to us with your donation. Some companies have on-line options as well.
  3. We will verify your gift and return the form to your company, which will then issue a matching gift contribution directly to First Nations Development Institute. It’s that easy.
