Matching Gifts

Does your company have a matching gift program?

Did you know a matching gift from your employer can double—even triple—the dollars you invest
in helping Your COMMUNITY?

Multiply your gift to the Next of Kin Registry (NOKR)! Ask your employer if they participate in Matching Gift Programs. One of the smartest ways to increase your giving is through a Matching Gift program, where a company, foundation or individual will match donations which you make to NOKR Inc. These matches are often dollar for dollar, which doubles your charitable-donation power. How to participate: Ask your employer if they participate in a Matching Gift program. Obtain a matching gift form and donation guidelines from your employer’s human resources or payroll department. Complete the donor section of the form and submit it along with your check to: National Next Of Kin Registry (NOKR), Matching Gift Program 2020 Pennsylvania Ave. NW #908 Washington, DC 20006 The form is processed in the NOKR office and returned to your employer. If approved, the company matching gift checks are sent to NOKR to match your already generous gift. Tips: Many companies will match personal gifts such as cash, stocks, marketable securities and even the value of your volunteer time. Companies may also match gifts from employee spouses or retirees (but not gifts from others.) Some companies offer double or triple matches. Many companies do not have a Matching Gift program but will still match your donation. Don’t be afraid to ask your employer for the matching gift. Talk to your co-workers, friends and sponsors about how they can increase their giving with an employee matching gift. Invite them to visit the NOKR web site at www.nokr.org. Donations are tax deductible as NOKR is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) public benefit organization humanitarian organization.
