Corporate Matching Gifts - Double Your Donation!

A growing number of companies offer corporate matching gift programs where they match charitable gift donations made by their employees. If the company you work for (or retired from) has a corporate matching gift program, you can double the value of your contribution to the Air Force Aid Society! It's easy to do. Simply contact your Human Resources Department and ask if your company offers a charitable matching gift program. If so, complete a Matching Gift Form and include the form with your donation to the Air Force Aid Society.

Matching gifts are a wonderful way to increase donations to the Society. If your company does not offer a matching gift program, please ask them to consider starting one.
