Multiply Your Impact with Matching Gifts

Did you know that many employers will match charitable donations made by their employees? This means your gift to Georgia Christian School could go twice as far—at no additional cost to you.

How to Find Out if Your Employer Participates

     Check with HR – Ask your Human Resources or Benefits Department if your company offers a matching gift program.

     Use Online Tools – Websites like Double the Donation (https://doublethedonation.com/) and HepData (https://hepdata.com/) maintain searchable databases of companies that match employee contributions. Simply enter your employer’s name to see if you’re eligible.

     Review Eligibility – Some companies match dollar-for-dollar, while others may match at a different rate or set annual limits.

How to Enroll

     Request a matching gift form from your HR office or complete the process online through your company’s employee portal.

     Submit your donation receipt from Georgia Christian School to your employer.

     Your employer then verifies the gift and sends the matching contribution directly to us.

Why It Matters

By taking a few extra minutes to check your eligibility, you can double—or even triple—the power of your gift. Matching gifts provide vital support for scholarships, campus development, and student programs, all while making your generosity go further.

Take the next step today: check if your employer offers matching gifts and maximize the impact of your support!

Ways to Give

Cash or Check:  Cash gifts are the simplest and most common form of giving to the school. You will receive a charitable tax deduction that will provide you with savings on this year's tax returns. Checks should be made payable to Georgia Christian School.

Company Matching Gifts:  A number of companies have matching gift programs in which the company matches gifts made by employees.  Check with your company to see if they have such a program.  Many of these programs require proof of accreditation before they will make a matching gift.  Contact the school for this information. 

Securities:  A gift of securities, including stocks or bonds, is an easy way to make a gift.  By making a gift of your appreciated securities, you can avoid paying capital gains tax that would otherwise be due if you sold these assets.

Real Estate:  A gift of real property (such as your home, vacation property, vacant land, farmland or ranch or commercial property) can make a great gift. If you own appreciated real property, you can avoid paying capital gains tax by making a gift to Georgia Christian School. 

Gift of Insurance:  A gift of your life insurance policy is an excellent way to make a gift to us. If your life insurance policy is no longer needed or will no longer benefit your survivors consider making a gift and help further our mission.

Contact the school for more information about giving to GCS.  All gifts help us fulfill our mission of providing a Christian environment for students to grow spiritually, mentally, and physically.
