Matching gifts can double or triple the size of a gift and serve as an important source of support. To confirm if you or your spouse/partner are affiliated with a company that matches charitable gifts, visit www.matchinggifts.com/uofpa.
Donors also may demonstrate their commitment by setting up a recurring gift charged by credit card on a monthly, quarterly, or annual basis. Utilizing this method, donors may be able to increase their annual support by breaking up payments to equal a larger gift.
