Employee Payroll Deduction & Company Match Gifts

Employee Payroll Deductions: Many donors give to charities via an automatic payroll deduction through their employer. This is similar to how you might contribute to a retirement account. A payroll deduction allows a donor to spread their giving out over the course of a year, so it’s automatic and oftentimes easier on cash flow.

Talk with your HR department about your company’s options. Choose the DSAGC and select an amount per pay period to be deducted from your paycheck before taxes are applied. You can deduct the total amount donated on your Schedule A if you itemize your deductions.

Company Match:  A great way to increase your donation to the DSAGC is through company match programs. 65% of Fortune 500 companies offer matching gift programs. Many even allow employees to submit match requests for up to 1 year following the date of the donation!

 Again, check with your HR department directly to learn more about opportunities from your employer.
