Double Your Impact
Does Your Employer Match Charitable Gifts?
Your Rocket Launch membership may be eligible for an employer matching gift.
Many employers match charitable donations made by their employees, which means your monthly support could have twice the impact for Rockford students—at no additional cost to you.
Check with your employer or HR department to see if your company offers a matching gift program.
Your gift. Their match. Twice the impact.
