Employee-Matching Gifts

Double your impact with a matching gift from your employer.

Many employers offer employee matching gift programs that can double or even triple the impact of your gift to ICG. But did you know that only 16% of those eligible are aware of this opportunity? These programs allow companies to match their employees’ charitable contributions, meaning your gift can go twice as far in helping ICG cultivate a vibrant, nature-rich space for children and families.

Participating is easy. After making your gift, check with your HR department to see if your company has a matching gift program. If they do, you’ll likely need to fill out a short form or provide basic information about your gift.

Once your company confirms your gift, they’ll contribute a matching amount to ICG, doubling the impact of your generosity. Don’t miss this opportunity to maximize your impact — check with your employer today!

Some employers that match employee gifts include:

  • Borgwarner
  • The Home Depot 
  • Visions FCU
  • Best Buy
  • Starbucks
  • Subway
  • McDonalds

You can also use the Charity Navigator Search function to see if your employer offers a matching gift program. Even if they don’t appear, it’s worth checking with your HR department.

Faces of Philanthropy

Why do you love & support The Garden?

Photographer Sarah Clapp asked this question to some of ICG’s incredible members, partners, and Garden enthusiasts, and the outcome was simply beautiful. The resulting exhibition, Photographing Philanthropy for the Love of Humanity, debuted at ICG’s 2017 Annual Celebration and perfectly encapsulates the role of the Garden in the lives and hearts of ICG devotees. See for yourself!
