What Is Donation Matching? Donation matching is a corporate giving initiative in which an employer matches their employee’s contribution to a specific cause, increasing the gift. For example, if an employee at Cisco donates $50 to a local organization, the matching gift would be Cisco’s additional donation of $50. That results in a $100 total donation for the Land Hermit Crab Owners Society!
