Matching Gifts

What is better than a generous gift to UCR? A gift that has been doubled or tripled thanks to a corporate matching gift! Many companies offer a matching-gift benefit to their employees to inspire charitable giving in support of education. Sometimes the gifts of retirees, members of the board of directors, and spouses are also eligible.

How Do I Get a Matching Gift?

Contact your Human Resources office or benefits manager and ask for a matching-gift application.
Read the program rules and follow the instructions on the matching-gift application. If you are required to send the signed application to UCR, please send it to:

UC Riverside Foundation
PO Box 112
Riverside, CA 92502-0112

After your gift is verified by UCR, your employer will send an additional gift on your behalf!
