Matching Gifts

Many corporations and businesses will match funds raised or donated by their employees. Talk with your human resources personnel to find out your employer’s policy. Most companies require The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society to complete a form to verify that the donation was received at the chapter. Once the donation is received at Paycor and the Society receives the matching gift paperwork, the Society will complete our portion and communicate with the company to receive the company match.
Please be aware that some companies match annually or quarterly so it is critical to begin the process as quickly as possible to ensure that your match is received at the chapter in time for your final money deadline.
Please be sure that any matching gift requests you submit comply with the matching company’s guidelines. In the case of companies with proven matching histories with our office, we can credit your account with the matching funds on receipt of the form. In the event that an unknown company's matching donation is not received at the chapter in time to meet the deadline, you will be asked to make a personal contribution to meet the difference. Once the match is received, you will be eligible to receive reimbursement for the personal money that you paid to meet the balance.

Frequently asked questions about matching gifts:

Where should I send the matching gift paperwork and donation?
We ask that you send the donation to our accounting center (Paycor). The matching gift paperwork should be sent along with a copy of the corresponding donation to the Society office. When your donation is verified, the chapter will complete the matching gift form and process from there.

Will the match be posted when the forms are completed?
In the case of companies with proven matching histories with our office, we can credit your account with the matching funds on receipt of the form. In rare cases where there is no experience with the company’s matching program, the match from the company will not be posted until the Society receives the promised check from the company.

Please note that, once matched, the initial donation to the company to initiate the match cannot be reimbursed as that is the donation which the Society has requested to match.
