Build a more caring world through the gift of education.

Your contributions provide scholarships for gifted, compassionate young adults who will make a positive difference in the lives of others.

Matching Gifts

If your employer matches charitable contributions, your donation may be doubled or even tripled. Many companies offer matching gift programs. Contact your company’s human resources department to see if your employer will match your gift.

How it works: An employee (or in some cases, a retiree or spouse) makes a donation to a nonprofit and then submits a matching gift request to their employer, who verifies the donation and eligibility. The company then makes an additional contribution to the nonprofit.

Your company may ask you to complete a form and to provide the Foundation’s mailing address and EIN (Tax ID) number:

950 Third Avenue, Suite 3100
New York, New York 10022
