Matching Gift Programs

Did you know that your donation to New Glarus Cares can have an even greater impact if you work for a company that offers a matching gift program? Under these programs, a company will match an employee's donation to a charitable organization, either entirely or in part. This means the impact of your donation can be significantly increased.

New Glarus Cares recently received its 501(c)(3) status, which means that all donations made to the organization are tax-deductible for U.S. taxpayers, and donations made since the organization's formation in October 2022 are retroactively deductible. With this status, if your company matches charitable donations dollar-for-dollar, every one dollar you donate (or already donated) to help save the greenspace at Candy Cane Park, you will actually be donating THREE dollars – your dollar, the dollar your company gives, and the matching dollar given by Only In Wisconsin Giving, the charitable arm of New Glarus Brewing Company.

Here is a list of companies that are likely to offer matching gift programs, direct giving programs, foundations, sponsorship programs, in-kind donations, product donations, and volunteer programs that can benefit New Glarus Cares:
