Many people have discovered the advantages of a little known benefit offered by their employers called the Matching Gift Program. Many companies will match employees' donations to charity dollar for dollar or even higher. These donations may be in cash or in the company's products. Matching gifts effectively double, triple, or even quadruple yours. Each year Rio receives more than $20,000 in cash and products (like computers and software) through employer matching gifts programs. You may be able to double your gift to Rio this year with the help of your employer too. Ask your employer if they have a matching gift program. Even many small business who don't have such programs may be willing to match your gift to Rio (especially with products) if you just ask!
