For many companies, the minimum gift matched is $25 to $50. Employees are usually entitled to several matches per year, up to several hundred or thousand dollars. Already donated? No problem. Many companies will match your charitable gifts for up to 12 months after you’ve given. Common ways to pledge donations at your company include one-time or ongoing payroll deductions, personal check, credit card, and stock or securities. Check with your employer to see when the gift will be sent to Elizabeth Traditional (ETES). If you pay by personal check or credit card or during a one-time payroll deduction, ETES may receive the money in a few months. If you have ongoing payroll deductions, ETES will most likely receive regular amounts over the course of a year.
