Matching Gifts Enhance Your Support
Employer gift matching is a simple and effective way to boost your support of the Naval Institute. A number of companies match or even double tax-deductible gifts made by staff, board members, and retirees, increasing the weight of their charitable dollars to the interests of their associates.
In recent months, the Naval Institute Foundation has received matching gifts from:
Aetna
Bank of America
Chevron
FMC
General Electric
Mead Westvaco
Merrill Lynch
Prudential
The human resources department can advise whether your company matches gifts and if the Institute fits within the guidelines of its giving program. If so, most employers will provide a form or offer applications at their Web site. When you mail the completed form to us with your personal gift by check or credit card, the Naval Institute is able to secure the matching funds and magnify the impact of your support.
