Are gifts from retirees matched?
This article explains that, depending on the matching gift guidelines of a company, gifts from retirees may or may not be match eligible.
It depends. Each company establishes its matching gift guidelines. Full-time employees are almost always eligible to participate in their employers' matching gift programs but many companies also offer to match the donations made by retirees.
These include companies like:
- Verizon
- Johnson and Johnson
- Intel Corporation
- The Coca-Cola Company
- Delta Air Lines
- And many others
We encourage you to check the individual company guidelines to determine if retired individuals are eligible to participate in their company's matching gift program.
