“Our family values giving to organizations that we think make a difference in the world. The V Foundation was at the top of our list due to its commitment to curing cancer and making judicious use of all donations with 100% of the money going straight toward cancer research. I am so proud that my company also matches our gift and is so committed to its community and working to improve the world around us.”
Jessica Albert, Matching Gift Donor
It can take a few weeks or a few months for the entire matching gift process to be completed. Each business or corporation has their own procedures, which dictate how often matching gifts are sent to the V Foundation.
Many companies offer matching gift programs for employees, some retirees, and even spouses. In 2022 the V Foundation raised over $521K in matching gifts at no extra cost to donors with your help!
