Matching Gifts
If you work for one of over 1,000 companies that match gifts to institutions of higher education, your gift can make an even bigger difference at Clarkson. Matching gifts can double or even triple the value of your gift!

Matching your gift is easy:

  1. Find out if your company or your spouse's company matches gifts to your favorite University - Clarkson! Visit Matching Gifts.Com and click on the button "Free lookup of Matching Gift Companies" on the right side of the screen. If your company is not listed, check with your Human Resources Office to see if they will support your gift to Clarkson.

  2. Contact your Human Resources Office for guidelines and a matching gift form. Each company is different: some use forms, some use telephone connections, and some use Web sites to collect information on your gift. (It often takes several months for Clarkson to receive a match from your employer, so you may need to apply early to have the match applied to your gift by June 30, the end of our fiscal year.)

  3. If your company uses a matching gift form, complete your section and mail it to:

    The Clarkson Fund
    Clarkson University
    PO Box 5530
    Potsdam, NY 13699-5530

Please don't forget, our fiscal year closes on June 30. If you have any questions, contact us at 315-268-6582 or e-mail the Clarkson Fund.
