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
• Bank of America
• General Electric
• 3M
• Pfizer
• 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.
