A way to double your gift is through a matching gift program with your employer. An
employee matching gifts program allows the employer to match a gift donated to
Blind and Vision Rehabilitation Services of Pittsburgh by one of its employees. This type of gift can double or triple the
donation and is very much appreciated.
Many companies not only will match gifts from current employees but will also match
gifts from retired employees, spouses or members of their board of directors. Check with
your company for its matching gift policy. Most forms are available in your company's
Human Resources office.
