Missouri State and You -- A Perfect Match!
Valentine’s Day may be over, but you may have the opportunity to pair up in another type of match! Many employers will match employees’ or retirees’ gifts to Missouri State. Double your $!The Foundation has a helpful online resource for determining if you or your spouse works for one of the 8,800 corporations and businesses that match private gifts from employees to educational institutions. To find out if your company is a matching gift company, visit www.matchinggifts.com/missouristate or talk to your Human Resources Department. Each company has different deadlines, requirements and instructions but the benefit to Missouri State can be great! It is your responsibility to follow your company's specific guidelines but just remember any corporate match will be added to your gift credit for gift club recognition. Gifts are often matched at a dollar-for-dollar rate; however, some companies offer programs which match at double, triple and in some cases quadruple the rate of the employee contribution. Directors, retirees and spouses of employees may also be eligible for a match. You can make your gift online at www.missouristate.edu/giving. It is a fast, secure and easy way to make a gift and make a difference at Missouri State.
