Your employer may offer a matching giving scheme, where they will match gifts made by their employees—resulting in your gift being worth even more to Penn.

 

In many cases, participating companies will match an employee’s donation dollar for dollar up to a set amount; some will even double-match. 

 

Please contact your Human Resources department to inquire.  If your employer does offer such a scheme, send any necessary forms to The University of Pennsylvania (HK) Foundation, Ltd. for processing.
