Matching-Gift Donation Program
| |
A simple way to increase your donation to Sons of Italy Foundation® (OSIA's philanthropic arm) and/or to the Commission for Social Justice® (OSIA's anti-defamation arm) is to find out if your company has a matching-gift program.
Such programs typically match a percentage or sometimes all employee contributions to charitable organizations, making the employer a partner in their employees' personal philanthropy.
Learn more about the matching-gift program.
