Some companies will match gifts made by employees to non-profit organizations such as MUHS. Many companies do not readily advertise their matching gift program so please ask your company’s Human Resources Administrator. If your company has a matching gift program, you will receive a form to send along with your check to MUHS and we will fill in and mail the form. Opportunities for matching gifts are sometimes available from a spouse's employer as well.
