Matching Gifts

One way to increase the impact of your individual gift is to check if your employer can match your donation.  Thousands of companies, small and large, have Matching Gift programs which double or even triple individual, tax-deductible contributions made by their employees and retirees.  Your employer may be one of them!

The process is simple.
1) Ask your employer if your company participates in a Matching Gift Program.
2) If the answer is yes, obtain a Matching Gift Form from your personnel office or matching gift coordinator.
3) Complete the Matching Gift Form.
4) Send the Matching Gift Form along with your tax-deductible contribution to:
National Marine Life Center
P.O. Box 269, 120 Main Street
Buzzards Bay, MA  02532-0269

Your gift and your company’s matching contribution will help us rehabilitate marine animals and return them back to their ocean home!
