In today’s fast-paced world, corporate social responsibility has become a driving force behind positive change.
Companies are recognizing the importance of giving back to the community, and one impactful way they are doing so is through corporate matching gifts. At 412 Food Rescue, we believe in the power of collective action, and corporate matching gifts are a key avenue for individuals to amplify their impact, enabling us to rescue and redistribute even more surplus food to those in need.
Recent trends in corporate philanthropy reveal a growing emphasis on matching gifts programs. More companies are recognizing the benefits of supporting charitable organizations by matching their employees’ financial donations and/or volunteer hours.
Despite the increasing availability of corporate matching gift programs, the full potential of their impact remains unrealized. Regrettably, a significant number of employees are not taking advantage of this valuable opportunity.
According to the latest statistics from Double the Donation Corporate Giving and Matching Gift Statistics [Update 2023]:
- An estimated $4 – $7 BILLION in matching gifts funds goes unclaimed per year.
- Only 1.31% of individual contributions are matched at the average nonprofit organization, despite approximately 10% being eligible for corporate matches.
- 65% of Fortune 500 companies offer matching gift programs.
- Over 26 million individuals work for companies with matching gift programs.
