Many employers will match the charitable gifts of employees, thereby doubling or tripling the value of their gifts. Some employers even match the gifts of retirees and/or spouses.
Find out if your company has a matching gift policy
To make a match, ask your company's matching gift officer or check your company’s web page (usually in the human resources or community relations department) for a matching gift form. Then, send it along with your gift to Appalachian State University Foundation. Visit our list of the top matching gift companies.
How do I make a gift in honor or memory of someone?
Memorial gifts offer donors a special means of honoring the memory of a loved one, while honorary gifts provide tributes to deserving individuals while they are alive.
