The CNP was recently asked about employers in the Chattanooga area who had an "Employer Matching Gift Program", meaning that if I gave an organization $100 dollars, my employer would match my gift of $100 dollars and the organization would receive a total donation of $200. This can be one way to make an even greater impact with limited funds. Employers do this to encourage their employees to take a vested interest in their communities.
The CNP does not currently have such a list, so we’re asking for your assistance in identifying companies who offer these types of programs. What companies in the Chattanooga area do you know of that provide an "Employer Matching Gift Program" to their employees? These can be national/international corporations with local offices/stores or local businesses.
If you know of a company that provides these programs, please let us know by leaving us a comment with the company's name.

According to the HEP Development website there are approximately 16,000 companies that match employee gifts. Many non-profits set up a webpage that allow donors to query the matching gift company database. This will tell the employee/donor whether his or her company matches to the type of non-profit they are trying to donate to. A copy of the matching gift form or a link is provided as are the matching ratios who to call etc.

Wow! This is great information. The CNP has moved their blog so that it can be viewed directly on the website, www.cnpchatt.org. I'm sure many people would benefit from this information. It would great if you would also post this information there.
