1. Workplace Giving
Workplace giving is an easy and efficient way to make tax-deductible donations to charities through payroll
contributions. By giving through recurring or one-time payroll deductions, your donation is automatically
deducted from your paycheck. There are no extra fees, and you do not need an acknowledgement from the charity
in order to claim your tax deduction.
Contact your company’s HR department to learn more about payroll deduction.
2. Corporate Matching
Many of our sponsors participate in their company’s gift matching program, in which the employer matches its
employees’ charitable contributions by donating an equal amount. Click here for a list of companies that
provide corporate matching.
Here’s how it works:
- Contact your human resources office / payroll dept to find out the Matching Gift Policy.
- Request a Matching Gift Form from your company.
- Complete the employee portion of the form and submit the form to FCSN with your gift.
- FCSN will verify and complete your form and return it to the company.
Note: Some companies process Matching Gifts electronically and may have specific instructions
to complete the process in that manner.
Please contact Matching Gift Administrator at 510-739-6900 X 3305.
