MATCHING GIFTS
Did you know many companies offer a matching gift program to encourage philanthropy among their employees? Some companies will even match gifts from spouses and retirees! If you volunteer with the North Carolina Symphony, your company may also offer a volunteer grant program.
By simply completing a matching gift form (online or paper), you may be able to double, or even triple, the impact of your gift! Contributions of any size help make our music possible across the state and also count toward our State Challenge Grant.
Use the search bar below to see if your employer participates in a matching gift program and if the North Carolina Symphony is an eligible organization.
