Employee matching gifts are grants an employer makes to match its employees’ charitable contributions. Usually associated with corporate grantmakers, employee matching gifts often are dollar-for-dollar, but some companies will give double or even triple the original donation. Some companies may also give matching gifts for employees’ volunteer efforts. Procedures vary with each company. Typically, individuals must submit forms to their employers. They usually can get more information about their matching gift benefits from their human resources department.

Current UGA employees may elect to give automatically through payroll deduction. Employees may choose to make a specified pledge (a set amount to be withheld from each paycheck for a specific number of paychecks) or an open-ended pledge (a set amount to be withheld from each paycheck until the Gift Accounting Office is notified to discontinue payments). Contact the Georgia 4-H Foundation for guidelines and authorization forms.

Commemorative gifts are a thoughtful way to honor or memorialize a loved one while supporting a cause you believe in. Your memorial gift can establish an endowment, renew a scholarship, or help fund other projects.

Examples of planned giving include:

Life Insurance
Wills/Bequests
Memorials/Honorariums
Charitable Trusts/Annuities

Donors may designate their gifts for specific purposes.

Please contact the Georgia 4-H Foundation about these options and completion of a Planned Gift Agreement.

Substantial gifts may be used to establish endowment funds to increase the long-lasting impact intended by donors.
