Many companies offer matching gift programs that will double (even triple!) the impact of your donation. Some companies also provide matching funds or grants to support employee volunteer hours. Please check the list below or ask your Human Resources department for details on your company’s matching programs.

My company has matching! How do I have my gift matched?

You'll be asked if your, or your spouse's, employer matches on the donation form. Please select "Yes" so we know you plan to match this gift.

Contact your company's Human Resources department and ask for the matching gift verification form or a link to their online submission process. Whether you submit online or by paper, you’ll be asked for the fund name and tax id number.

Fund name: LWV of Seattle-King County Education Fund

Tax Id Number: 91–1224769

If your company uses a paper verification form, please complete the form and mail it to us at:

LWV of Seattle-King County

1511 3rd Avenue, Suite 900

Seattle, WA 98101

We will verify that the donation was received and qualifies for a match and send the form to your company.

Thank you for making your donation even more powerful!
