- Make a cash, check, or credit card donation. Keep your gift receipt in case your workplace requires it. Most corporate matching programs allow you up to one year to request their match on your donation.
- Check to see if your company matches employee donations.
- Submit your matching request. Here are two ways:
- Download your company’s matching gift verification form. Print, fill out, and mail it to us: UrbanPromise Trenton 801 West State Street, Trenton, NJ 08618.
- If your company provides a link to their intranet, use this information to log in and submit your matching gift request. It will be processed and sent to us.
Once we receive your form or online request, we’ll take care of the rest. Your company will send its matching donation directly to UrbanPromise Trenton. You’ll help at least two times as many people.
If you own an appreciated stock, it is more tax-wise to contribute the stock , rather than cash. A gift of appreciated stock generally offers a two-fold tax savings. First, you avoid paying capital gains tax on the increase in value of stock. Second, you receive an income tax deduction for the full, fair market value of the stock at the time of the gift.
Stocks, bonds, mutual funds, etc. can be transferred to UrbanPromise Trenton. Check with your financial advisor, attorney, accountant, etc. to learn about the tax advantages. Please contact Eric Martin at (609) 566-4673 for assistance with a stock transfer.
