Matches Increase the Impact of Your Gift

Does your employer offer matches to qualified charities or would you be interested in benefiting from matching funds? Community matches are available to help donors reach The Tocqueville Society and The Builder Society level for the annual campaign. These matches are existing funds that we would not have access to if donors did not take advantage of them. Contact Caroline Bolvig with our major gifts department to find out more at 205.458-2038 or cbolvig@uwca.org. Apart from the campaign, matches are available to help donors endow their Tocqueville level gift. Contact Maggie McDonald to find out more 205.458.2025 or maggie.mcdonald@uwca.org. Don’t forget to ask your employee for fund-matching opportunities.
