One of the easiest ways to maximize your gift is to see if your employer matches contributions to nonprofit organizations.
Many employers offer this as a benefit and will match your gift dollar for dollar — some will match up to two or even three times your contribution. Paradisus Dei is a 501c3 organization so it is eligible for many corporate matching programs.

Matching Gift Success Stories
• A TMIY participant in Michigan realized his company would match so he doubled his Fall Appeal gift by simply filling out a form online.
• One of our TMIY participants is a retiree and was unaware that he was still eligible for a match through his former employer. After talking with our development office, he learned that his company will match up to $5,500 annually, so the match increased his campaign commitment by $20,000.
• Another long-time participant of TMIY and The Choice Wine researched his corporate match, and realized he has a 2:1 match. He was able to give 3 times what he originally planned to give this year.
