Matching Gifts

Matching Gifts are a great, easy way to double or even triple your donation to the Wikimedia Foundation. Many companies support employee philanthropy by offering matching gift programs. By taking advantage of your corporate matching gift program, you can maximize the value of your gift at no additional cost. Please check with your HR department to see if your employer will match your gift to the Wikimedia Foundation.

How does this program work?

Although programs may vary from company to company, the process is usually very simple:
1. Confirm that your company has a matching gifts program and obtain the appropriate Matching Gifts Form
2. Complete the form and send it to the Wikimedia Foundation at our physical address:

Wikimedia Foundation, Inc.
P.O. Box 78350
San Francisco, CA 94107
or email:giving@wikimedia.org

3. The Wikimedia Foundation will verify your donation and send the form back to your company
4. Your company will send a matching gift contribution to the Wikimedia Foundation

For more information please contact:
