Multiply your gift to Church World Service! Ask your employer if they participate in Matching Gift Programs. One of the smartest ways to increase your giving is through a Matching Gift program, where a company, foundation or individual will match donations which you make to Church World Service. These matches are often dollar for dollar, which doubles your charitable-donation power.

How to participate | Tips | List of supporters

How to participate:

  1. Ask your employer if they participate in a Matching Gift program.
  2. Obtain a matching gift form and donation guidelines from your employer’s human resources or payroll department.
  3. Complete the donor section of the form and submit it along with your check to:
    Church World Service, Matching Gift Program
    PO Box 968, Elkhart, IN 46515-0968.
    Fax: 574-262-0966
    EIN# 13-4080201
  4. If you participate in a CROP Hunger Walk, include the city and date of the Walk with your check and application. Matching Gift applications can be turned into the Walk treasurer who will forward it to Church World Service with the CROP Hunger Walk funds.
  5. The form is processed in the Church World Service Matching Gift office and returned to your employer.
  6. If approved, the company matching gift checks are sent to Church World Service to match your already generous gift.
  7. If you are a member of Thrivent Financial for Lutherans, contact your Thrivent Financial for Lutheran’s local chapter treasurer for more information about the “Care Abounds in Communities” program and other Lutheran gift matching opportunites.

Tips:

  • Many companies will match personal gifts such as cash, stocks, marketable securities and even the value of your volunteer time.
  • Companies may also match gifts from employee spouses or retirees (but not gifts from others.)
  • Some companies offer double or triple matches.
  • Many companies do not have a Matching Gift program but will still match your donation. Don’t be afraid to ask your employer for the matching gift.
  • Talk to your co-workers, friends and sponsors about how they can increase their giving with an employee matching gift. Invite them to visit the CWS web site at www.churchworldservice.org.
  • Contact your local CWS/CROP office at 1-888-297-2767 for more information about Church World Service programs.
  • For more information about matching gifts, please contact or call 1-800-297-1516, ext. 456.
