  • Matching Gifts

    Does your employer have a matching gift program? When you give to UDS, your employer may match your personal gift—often dollar for dollar.

    Ask your supervisor or human resource department if your employer matches personal contributions. Most employers have a simple form or online portal for matching gifts. Contact us at 330-762-9755 if you need help completing your matching gift paperwork.

    Employer matching gifts are one of the easiest ways to increase the value of your donation.
