Corporate Matching Gifts

Many firms will match gifts made by their employees and retirees to charitable organizations like the San Luis Obispo Botanical Garden. A Matching Gift or Employee Volunteer Program is a great way for your company to show the importance of supporting the community. Corporate matching can double, or even triple, contributions made to the Garden. If you do not already have a Matching Gift or Employee Volunteer Program in place, we encourage you to start one today.
